Weekly Wrap Up - The one where we learned croquet

The kids are all coming off of being sick for weeks.  Just when I think we're past it someone gets worse for a day or two, or another child develops a new symptom.   Because of that our school week for the past few weeks has been pretty sparse.

Monday was a tough day with attitudes.  To try and break the cycle we walked to speech therapy, about a mile from us.  Or, I walked and Green Bubbles rode his bike.  I'm thankful for having my mother in law with us because I was able to leave the two littles behind with her.  Our IEP meeting is next week through our charter school.  We've been having issues with our speech therapy and being transferred to a new therapist every 2-3 weeks since we started at our new location.  Part of me feels bad that Green Bubble's latest speech therapist is being thrown into the meeting after only having him for a few weeks but I'm hoping it will work to our advantage when I ask for extended services through the summer.  He hasn't made much progress due to all the changes, and our sub-par therapist we had at the beginning of the year.  There's no reason he has to be in therapy for this long and show so little progress.

Thankfully, the rest of the week wasn't nearly as bad.  We even managed to make it out to nature study on Wednesday without Little Miss who got worse that morning.  The boys had fun and it was nice to get outside.

 I think the highlight of the week was Green Bubbles and Little Miss discovering the croquet set in the garage.  My mother in law picked it up at a garage sale last summer for a great price but it's been sitting ever since.  The kids loved hitting the balls around and through the hoops and it's given me inspiration for our next read aloud book, Alice in Wonderland.

I'm going to try and have some Dr. Seuss type activities next week for Dr. Seuss's birthday!  And possibly another freebie as we are making a Mr. Popper's Penguins lapbook currently.

I hope everyone enjoys the weekend!

Weekly Wrap Up - The one with the awesome fieldtrip

It's been awhile since I've posted a weekly wrap up.  We've done a lot of fun and interesting things over the last few weeks but I somehow always forget until Sunday to post the wrap up!

Monday was a normal day for us of running all around.  We got all our school work done in the morning, had lunch, and packed the kids up for our musical theater class with the Tom Thumb Players and then speech for Green Bubbles.  Only one more week of class and then it's time for the play!  Little Miss and Green Bubbles love the class.  They were assigned their roles last week and they both are playing the part of food.  Green Bubbles is bread dough and Little Miss is an onion.  Can't wait to see the final product!

I'm always thankful for days we are home all day long without any errands.  On Tuesday, I took the kids on a walk through the neighborhood stopping occasionally to dig for worms for a science experiment we are doing.  We also stopped by our local polling place and I made all three of them wait with me while I voted. I had my Mother-in-law take the bigs to swim lessons and I took advantage by trying to clean the house.  Megatron had other ideas so I didn't get my entire list done, but it made me feel better to make some progress.

I kept our Wednesday trip a secret from the kids until Tuesday night.  Little Miss has been begging to go back to Sea World ever since we went on our last field trip there.  A friend organized a trip again so we jumped on it.  The educational field trips only last until 1:30pm but that's plenty of time for our family because by then Megatron and Little Miss are ready for naps.  We spent the entire day with some new friends of ours and had so much fun.

The kids were able to see penguins, turtles, sharks, bulga whales, orcas, some walruses, and of course, a lot of fish.  Holiday decorcations were alrady going up as well so I made the kids pose infront of some of them for pictures.  We even got to talk to one of the trainers of the orcas about his job, how he got to be where he is and what other animal training he has done before.  I also was very interested to learn that Sea World San Diego uses the ocean water in Mission Bay for its tanks.  They filter it in, and then after a few hours put it back out into the bay.  The trainer, Conor, told us they put the water back out 80% cleaner.

Unfortunately,  Green Bubbles was starting to feel sick by lunch time.  He actually napped a little in the car on the drive home.  I can't remember the last time he did that.  By the evening he had a slight fever and was vomiting.  Thankfully it was short lived and by Thursday night he was feeling much better!


Since he was sick we did end up finishing our read aloud book, The Witches by Roald Dahl.  We followed it up with the movie they made in 1990 and Green Bubbles told me all the parts that were different between the movie and the book.  The book had him bouncing up and down in excitement.  The movie left him wandering away about halfway through.  Although he did say he enjoyed the ending in the movie much more than the book.

Today we're going to hit park day.  And then it's time for me to get everything together for Little Miss' birthday party tomorrow!  We're going with a My Little Pony theme, but I'm keeping it simple.  No party games, prizes, contests.  Just kids playing on the playground at the local park.  It should be a lot of fun.

Weekly Wrap Up - Will Little Miss join her brother on the stage?

 

It's Friday, again!  Does anyone else look through their pictures from the week to try and remember everything they did?

Monday was the first day of Green Bubbles musical theater class from Creative Kids Playhouse.  He does the Tom Thumb players which is for kids 3-7 years old and this years play is No Turkey for Perky, a thanksgiving play.  As you can tell from the picture below, there aren't many kids in his class this year and it's in danger of being canceled.  I really hope we get the missing kids to fill it up soon!  Because of the small group, his teacher was nice enough to let Little Miss participate.  Can you see her 2nd from the left in her pink shirt?  Her 3rd birthday is just before the day of the play so I'm trying to decide if I want to sign her up as well.  

Tuesday is our swim lesson day.  We recently signed up Little Miss to take lessons just after her big brother and she's doing great!  She's excited about going and is making great progress.  This week we decided to try Megatron out as well on the advice of their swim teachers.  While he did really well, he also cried most of the lesson due to the fact that he didn't know his swim teacher, not because of the lesson itself.  While I think he'd do fine with it, we decided to hold off on his lessons for now and sign him back up again when he's old enough to ask to go.

Wednesday is nature study day!  I posted all about our trip to the Bolsa Chica Wetlands here.  We all had a lot of fun.

Thursday was a 'home' day for us besides Green Bubbles speech.  He had a great appointment though.  That surprised me considering how our morning had gone yesterday.  When his therapist came out halfway through I thought I'd have to go lay down the law and was pleasantly surprised when I was told it was probably his best session ever!  Go Green Bubbles!  

Yes, we do school in our jammies some days!

Today we managed to squeeze in a little bit of school before rushing off to park day.  We finally found a park day full of kids Green Bubbles and Little Miss' age.  Even a baby close to Megatron's age!

After park we hit the library to pick up our next read aloud book, The Witches by Roald Dahl.  I can't wait to start reading it with Green Bubbles.  By the time we got home my husband was home early and we left the kids with his mother and went to a movie at the cheap theater near the house.  Talk about a nice treat.  I can't remember the last time I went anywhere without at least one child with me!  We got to see Lucy and, although it wasn't really a date 'night', I still had fun. 

I hope everyone else had a great week as well!

Weekly Wrap Up - The one with sick kiddos

This has been our first official week back to school and, in true fashion, there were a lot of bumps on the road!  All three kids are sick, each with a different cold!  It all started with Green Bubbles' eyelid starting to swell.  We got him started on eye drops and I'm happy to say by the end of the week his eye is looking almost normal again.  Little Miss followed shortly by Green Bubbles both ended up with head colds which meant I was awake about every two hours in the night for the past week because of poor Megatron.  He's starting to sleep better now although we still aren't getting the kind of sleep we did before so this Momma is tired!

But life goes on!  And since Green Bubbles wasn't really 'sick' we still did school.  Monday was the start of math for us which means it was the first day we had a full load of subjects!  That means first day of pictures of course. 

 On Monday we also went to park day, a soon to be weekly affair for us. We always go to at least one park day a week and this year it's looking like we will be going back to our Monday friends!  Green Bubbles speech therapy is on Monday and Thursday this year and the timing and location are right by Monday park day.

We signed up for a busy bag exchange with park friends which was a lot of fun to make.  I made 7 toddler busy bags and passed 6 of them out to friends with toddlers.  In exchange I got a lot of new busy bags for Little Miss to help keep her, well, busy!  I'm hoping this will help with the rampaging mess that is my school room whenever I try to sit down with Green Bubbles.

And speaking of rampaging messes..  I tacked the house and started to clean out my closet and clutter in my bedroom this week.  I'm an on again off again Flylady follower and that was the zone to work on this week.  While cleaning I came across Green Bubbles Iron Man mask I made him for his 4th birthday party a year and half ago now.  He was so excited to have it as Iron Man is still ranking up in his top 5 coolest things ever.  Little Miss wanted in on the action too and was wearing the mask around when Green Bubbles wasn't.  At one point she even announced, "I am Iron Man!"

I didn't get very far in our room though because everything broke at once in our bathroom this week as well.  The toilet started leaking and the spout in the bathtub just flew off.  I got to google my way to fixes and, after a few trips to the hardware store, managed to get our bathroom back to normal again as well.

Just to show it wasn't all cleaning, fixing, and school, here's a picture of poor, sick, little Megatron.  He couldn't breath unless he was upright which means he was just tired too.  He kept falling asleep everywhere, even in his jumper!

 On a positive, he's feeling much better now and hit 5 months this week!  I can't believe how big he is getting.  He's starting to sit up really well, loves to jump in his jumper and has already moved onto the 2nd setting since he's so tall.  He rolls everywhere, as soon as you put him down, which makes diaper changes challenging but fun.  He's also tried real food now and loves apples, trying to grab the spoon from me because I'm not fast enough.  He really dislikes rice cereal, and hasn't made up his mind about green beans yet. 

So that's been our week.  How was yours?

Weekly Wrap Up - The one with yummy jello

So we are almost up to a full school load this week and so far it's going well.  Just like everyone, we have good days and bad days. 

Monday was our first full day and we filled it with stuff! We read, did a science experiement, played with wooden trains and just had a lot of fun!

Tuesday was more of the same except Megatron is learning to sit up without support!  He's getting so big, so fast.  It seems every child I have grows up faster then the ones before.  I remember the baby stage lasting so long with Green Bubbles and with Little Miss is seemed so much shorter.  Megatron is going by with a blink of the eye.  I'm sure it's just because I'm so much busier now then I was before but it makes me a little sad to think about.

Wednesday was our nature study day where we went to the beach. The kids had a lot of fun, except for maybe Megatron who really doesn't understand what's so exicting about a little sun and sand and just wanted to go home, or nap, or both.

Thursday we made jello!  Our science curriculum had an experiment where we compared an animal cell and a plant cell by making jello models.  This was by far Green Bubbles highlight of the week.  He sure does love his jello.  Besides the jello, this was one of those 'bad' days.  Green Bubbles was really struggling with school and focusing. 


Friday, today, Green Bubbles woke up with a swollen eyelid and was complaining about how much his eye hurt so we had a trip to the doctor.  Everything is fine and the doctor couldn't see anything causing it and he's acting like his full of energy self so went ahead and did a little more school today as well.  We started Story of the World this week and we were able to do the activity for the Introduction chapter and went on an archeology dig in our own backyard.  Today is also going to be errand day so we're going to be heading out this afternoon, all thee kids in tow!

Hope everyone else had a great week!  Linking up to weird unsocialized homeschoolers.

Wrap Up - First week of Kindergarten

Time for another weekly wrap up!  This week we eased back into school by starting just a few things.  We'll be adding more each week until we work back up to a full load.  Green Bubbles was desperate to start science so we opened up our Real Science Odyssey Life!  I wanted to also get him started on All About Reading Pre-reading in the hopes we might be able to work through the letters he already knows quickly to get to the ones he's struggling with.  Little Miss sat in on a lot of this as well and totally blew me away with her awesome rhyming ability.  She was picking out rhyming cards like a pro, passing up Green Bubbles.  I'm going to start sending her to another room while working with Green Bubbles.  His confidence level is already pretty shaky with language skills and having his little sister do it so easily isn't good for that. 

On Monday we started with discussing what is life and comparing things that were alive and not alive.  We took a break with science after this until Friday.

Tuesday we went to a park day.  We've been missing these a lot lately and the kids really love them.  I'm glad we made the effort to go!  Getting outside is so important for little kids but it's hard for me to make the effort to do it more than a few days a week.  3 kids, one being an infant, is a lot more work to get everything together to get out!

Wednesday is normally our nature study but instead we met a friend at the beach for a bonfire.  The kids had a blast playing in the sand and roasting our hotdogs and marshmellows.  I try to go to a bonfire once every summer for them.  It's a great experience and I know it will be something they will remember when they are older.  Green Bubbles also read his first Dick and Jane story!  We've been working on sight words for him to help build up his confidence with words and letters.   He was so proud of himself when

Thursday we made it to another park day!  I can't tell you how excited I am that we made it outside three days in a row.  This park day was a new one for us with brand new friends to make so my kids were a little shyer but they still had a lot of fun.  I know they will make friends quickly.  There were a lot of boys Green Bubbles age here and even a little girl just one month younger than Little Miss.

Today was our fun day, as if park days and bonfires weren't fun!  We made it to the letter E in All About Reading, but science is where the fun comes in.  We did a plot study in our garden identifying things that were alive and dead.  Green Bubbles even found traces of animals such as the eatten leaves on the tomato plants from the cabbage loppers (we caught one last month and put it in our bug house to watch it make it's cocoon).  Since we were in our garden, Green Bubbles wanted to water the plants and Little Miss helped.  Whenever the hose comes out, it always turns into a water fight as well! 

We are off to the library later this afternoon to get some books for next week's school.  We'll be adding in history and handwriting! 

When you go back to school do you start it all up at once, or ease back into it?  Leave me a comment and let me know!

Weekly Wrap-Up - Lazy summer days

It's Friday!  Time for another weekly wrap-up.

Do you ever feel like your living in a real life ground hog's day where every day seems very much like the other?  I'll be excited when school starts back up just so we're back in a routine and our days change.  Summer always seems to be a free for all of schedules and routines.  Some weeks we are crazy busy, and others we never leave the house.  This week was the latter. Part of me is cherishing it since I know once school starts back up and summer is over we won't be having any more weeks like that. 

Green Bubbles wanted to do science so desperately that we are starting back on Monday but only adding in one subject at a time.  Our offical start date isn't until the 18th but we usually start back early, adding a little each day until we are back full time.  We missed Nature Study this week, but next week will make up for it!  

But I really do hate being couped up in the house all day and an entire week of it is getting to me.   So, we are either going to the library to turn in our summer reading logs since tomorrow is the last day or, if we can convince Daddy, we are going to hang out at Disneyland!  Maybe both...  After all, summer should always end with a bang.


So rather then bore us both with trying to remember what my week was like each day, here's my pictures that just show it all! Our end of summer fun, lazy days.

She discovered the butterfly book I bought her at the library last week.

Megatron cuteness! 

Megatron hates water, but the older two enjoyed the kiddie pool.

This is what happens when toddlers refuse to go to sleep two nights in a row.  She crashed early.

Weekly Wrap-Up

So I'm going to start trying to join in on Weird Unsocialized Homeschoolers Weekly Wrap-Up link. Every Friday there is a weekly wrap up where you talk about your week and what happened. We haven't done a lot of 'school' things this week, or even planning for school, but it is still summer for us!

Monday -   We started out Cats theme for our preschool, although all we really did was read a few books.  Mostly, I am trying to get a secret project done (stay tuned for the results).  The local consignment sale is coming up as well and I'm trying to get all of the outgrown clothes I'm selling tagged and ready to go.  This is a little bittersweet since it's the first time I'm not keeping clothes for a hand me down.  Little Miss' clothes are going away completely and as Megatron quickly outgrows his baby clothes those are going away as well.  Only Green Bubbles' stuff is being saved now. 

Tuesday -  We decided to go visit a friend today.  We spent a few hours just hanging out.  She has a son Little Miss' age and another son a few years older then Green Bubbles.  Her son and my two had a lot of fun playing out in her yard and with her kids toys.   Other people's toys always seem better then your own, right? The husband flew out of town this night too so we spent the rest of the day spending time with Daddy and saying goodbye.

Wednesday - This is our normal nature study day and we spent it at the county fair!  Here's the post all about it.  It was a really hot day and Green Bubbles and Little Miss were not exactly angels before we had to leave.  We had fun at the fair but it made me realize that I need an extra adult helper when I go some place that crowded with Megatron and Little Miss.  This time next year will be so much easier.

Thursday - Today was a quiet day.  I finished up more of the prep work for my project.  Although this is proving to be harder then I expected it to be with Megatron never letting me put him down lately.  Green Bubbles also had a speech therapy lesson today.  Then I took the two youngest grocery shopping with me while Green Bubbles went with Grandma to Costco.  Divide and conquer! The rest of the day was just spent at home relaxing and avoiding the heat. Until the power went out just before dinner.  We have an electric stove and oven so we went out to dinner and walked around Target for as long as possible to avoid the heat and stay in the AC.  Lucky for the kids, they were excited to stay up past their bedtime.  The power came back on just in time for bedtime so we avoided sleeping downstairs to try and keep cool.  As much as the kids were excited about sleeping on the couch, that means the baby and I would end up on the floor and I wasn't looking forward to that!

Friday - Friends of ours are moving out of state next week and we haven't seen them in awhile.  We're going to go to a farewell party they are throwing last minute today after Green Bubbles speech session this morning.  Daddy is supposed to get home tonight too and I know the kids will be excited to see him, almost as much as me. The cat preschool lessons will just have to move onto next week!

An entire year!

So, not going to lie.  An entire year has passed since I've even THOUGHT of this blog.  That's awful.  Especially since I was using this as a way to keep track of our activities, fieldtrips, and just awesome news.   So, here's a year in review of what we did for Transitional Kindergarten for Green Bubbles, what Little Miss and our family has been up to, and our newest addition, Megatron!

We went on the greatest hike ever in June!  We got to meet Joel Robinson with Naturalist For You  and went on a new to us hike to Canyon Falls.  I really want to do this hike again but it's just not possible for me now with a toddler and a baby.  There were large rocks, bigger then my kids, to climb over.  Fallen trees to duck under.  Small pools to wade through.  We saw new bugs, tiny frogs, salamanders, and a 50 foot water fall.  The kids loved it.  It was rural, the path was hard to see, and I honestly think I wouldn't be able to find the trail head by myself if I tried.  And it was awesome!

 Adventure Playground in Huntington Beach has got to be one of the coolest places to go in the summer.  I remember visiting this place when I was a kid.  We used to call it Mud Park.  I'm so glad I'm able to share it with my own children.  Or at least Green Bubbles.  It's designed for the 5-12 year old crowd and its not really a safe place for babies and toddlers so I left Little Miss at home.  They have rafts the kids can play on, a really cool water slide into a muddy puddle and even a tree fort area where they have a huge pile of scrap wood and they check out a hammer and nails to the kids to build whatever they can imagine.  And if your over 7 years old, you can even check out a hand saw!

August brings the start of another school year.  We are officially homeschooling this year.  Green Bubbles is hold enough to start Transitional Kinder this past year and we enrolled with Sky Mountain Charter School.  They provide funds for educational materials so we were able to do a lot of things we wouldn't normally get a chance to do.  Green Bubbles had art classes, swim lessons, a musical theater class,  and tons of science kits.  I have learned so much this past year though such as the fact that I need a real curriculum and can't just wing it.  We didn't have a firm language arts or history curriculum and it showed, especially by the end of the year when we also had a new baby to occupy all my time. 

In September we got to visit the kid's grandparents in Kentucky.   It was Little Miss' first time on an airplane and she did great!  Although I have learned through the experience that, even though it's cheaper to have a lap sitter, she really needed her own seat for my own piece of mind. 

Green Bubbles had his very first art class and he did great!  We took lessons at a friend's house that she had set up through Creative Creatures. He had a lot of fun with this and learned all about primary and secondary colors, blending, tones, and wrote his name for the first time all by himself without any prompting for spellings.

Getting a good picture of the two of them is next to impossible.  Here's more nature study in October at Nix Nature Center at Laguna Coast Wilderness Park.  I love this park and it's close to home.  There are multiple entrances and parking lots at this park and each one has it's own unique feel to it.

We were lucky to do so much traveling this year.  Another trip to Kentucky to visit the grandparents and the kids first real experience with snow.  There wasn't very much snow on the ground but with my Southern California kids, it was a new experience.  They loved playing in it, squishing it beneath their boots, smashing it between their gloves, and knocking the icicles down from the nearby tree branches.  Although Little Miss enjoyed the cold far more then her brother.  She never wanted to go inside.  We also explored a little farther afield this trip and visited Knob Creek, Abraham Lincoln's boyhood home.  The timing was perfect since we were just about to start learning about Abraham Lincoln and the civil war the following week. 

After the snow of Kentucky, January in California is very different.  Another nature study day and coming up on some of the last few ones we did for the year.  I was getting very pregnant at this point. We went to the Fullerton Arboretum and hung out at our favorite climbing tree.  This is probably one of the biggest trees and is perfect for littles to climb up into the middle of, go through it, and slide down the other side.  Better then a playground. 

 Happy Valentine's Day!  The kids got to pick their own valentine boxes to make and, true to their interests, was just what I was expecting.  Green Bubbles has been really into Super Mario Bros. lately so we made him a question mark box.  Little Miss is showing off her my little pony phase and requested a pink pony box.  They had a lot of fun passing out their special valentines I made for them as well.  Green Bubbles had little plastic bugs on them and Little Miss' were crayon hearts that we had made.  I had plenty of time to do crafts since we were pretty much home bound at this point of my pregnancy not wanting to get into any new classes or anything that required a lot of walking with me carrying my very heavy toddler.

 Welcome to the world Megatron!   Megatron was born mid-March.  Thankfully the day before spring break so we had a little bit of an adjustment before throwing ourselves back into school.  Although at this point, school had become very lax and not very structured.

 Green Bubbles started playing flag football this year with i9 sports.  He loves it and since Daddy volunteered to coach his second season, he gets a lot of special one on one time with just the two of them.  He's improved so much from when we first started.  He used to only play center but now he's rushing the quarter back, pulling flags, and even carried the ball once.

To celebrate the end of the school year we took a field trip to Sea World.  The kids had so much fun looking at all the various animals.  We got to see sharks, sea turtles, penguins, dolphins, sea lions, bat rays, and play in the touch tanks with the feeder fish.   They had a special show just for the homeschoolers as well where they explained how they trained the animals to do all the amazing tricks we got to see. 

And to end this wrap up post.. It's summer, the perfect time to let loose, have fun, and get wet.  We're planning a lot of beach days this summer and kicked it off with a trip to one of our favorites, Little Corona Del Mar.  Although this is normally the beach we go to for tidepools, when we went this last time the tide was in so there wasn't much to see.  Just a lot of fun to be had. 

Weekly Wrap Up - Time between breaks

So last week we were ALL sick and didn't have any school at all.  I kept it very low key and we just played and read books when he wanted to.  So this week was ramping back up to school.  Malcolm had moments where he didn't want to do what I had ready and wanted to do something else.  We went with the flow and I allowed him a lot of leeway because for the next two weeks we're taking our 'spring break'.  We have family coming to visit next week and then Malcolm is going back to Florida with his cousin to spend a week my husband's side of the family.  His first plane ride!

Doesn't she look adorable???

Cheese!!

Found these crayola Window Crayons on clearance and thought it would be great for developing those fine motor skills!  I've ready so many blogs where vertical writing surfaces are really good for this but I don't have an easel and was afraid of the mess of just taping paper up on the wall for him to color on.   He loves these crayons but I haven't had a chance to wash it yet because Malcolm won't let me touch it!

I found this idea on pinterest, or at least part of it.  The idea I saw had the masking tape letters put on the carpet in a circle and the child then jumped on the letters called out or used bean bag letters to put over them.  I didn't have enough space for a full circle so we made more of a crescent shape.  Malcolm also isn't as familiar with his letters for me calling one out to jump so and I don't have the bean bags.  But I do have magnatic letters!  So we used the letters to put over the masking tape letters.  Malcolm loved this so much that it was the first thing he wanted to do each day for school.  He also ran down the line as I very quickly said/sang the ABC's which he also really enjoyed.  He tried to trick me by walking slowly, fast, stopping, and even sometimes going backwards but Mom always caught up!

Our Hippo Craft because.. H is for Hippo!!!  I cut everything out but Malcolm glued all of it.

We started working on his name a little bit.  I saw this on a blog and just thought it was such a cute idea!

Our coloring page to add to the wall.

Dot painting!

Happy baby :)

Story time at the library

Wednesday park play day

We did a lot of Humpty Dumpty for our poetry this week.  I found this cute idea on pinterest.  I made humpty dumpty out of cardstock and we playacted the rhyme which Malcolm really liked.  Then one morning I cut him up into four pieces and Malcolm put him back together again with bandaids.  He LOVED this.

On our nature study day he found these sea urchins all by himself!

Art!  We played with mixing colors of paint.  He really liked making green :)

Taking pictures in the car!


We also managed to get a lot of story time done and got some books from the library including the Good Dog, Carl books which Malcolm adores.  We watched our Spanish video Salsa online and played a lot of starfall.com .
