Week in Review: Week 25 March 2-8

I took almost no pictures the entire week.  I was dealing with 3 sick boys that only seemed to get sick in the middle of the night.  I had very little sleep all week long, but thankfully by Thursday evening all 3 boys seemed much better.  We did manage to sneak in a little fun in our otherwise very boring week.  The boys had to miss every one of their after school activities and co-op this week and I had to cancel 3 of my nights tutoring.  Thankfully, our week ended on a very good note and we got to enjoy another wonderful thunderstorm this week.  We really miss the rain during the dry season!

Theme: Dr. Seuss week: Part 1

I had all of these really fun activities planned for Dr. Seuss week, but most of them got pushed aside when the boys got sick.  We did read "Bartholomew and the oobleck" and made oobleck.  This is my boys very favorite sensory activity.  They could play with this stuff forever.  After they played with the oobleck, they had to fill out a worksheet and describe oobleck.   They also had "oobleck" for a snack. We read a couple other Dr. Seuss books this week, but didn't do any of the projects I had to go along with them.  We will just be extending Dr. Seuss week to next week.

Tea on Tuesday

Since it is Dr. Seuss week, we read "Hop on Pop" and discussed rhyming words.  We talked about how Dr. Seuss would make up words for many of his books. The boys had to write a short story about something they would like to hop on and fill it with rhyming words.  We also had hop on popcorn and truffula tree donuts for snacks.  We also made popcorn kernels dance to go along with our  book.

100 Books: Winnie-the-Pooh

My older boys were not at all excited about this book.  They were complaining that it was too babyish and that they would not like this story at all.  We first read a biography on A.A. Milne to get a little background on why this story was written.  Once the boys realized this was not the Disney version on Pooh, they were a little more willing to listen to the book. By the end of the story, all 3 boys really enjoyed this book.  It had them laughing in many places and completely kept their attention.  I am so glad they gave it a try.

Britton's Birthday Party

I am only going to give a little sneak peek of Britton's party, but I am happy to report that we were able to celebrate his party this past weekend with all of his friends.  He had a Jake and the Neverland Pirates party, so it was all things pirates and fairies.  Lots of fun, friends, food, and laughs made for a really great day for Britton.  Look for the party details in the next post!

That was our week.  Pretty uneventful and hoping we can get back into our normal routine next week.
