We read The story of the Fighting Kings for the number 3. Audrey drew a picture to represent the story. She also made the number 3 out of beeswax to go with her 1 and 2. It is so wonderful how much Audrey looks forward to listening to our math stories. She is always asking when we will read the next one!

 For the letter E, we read The Tale of the Flopsy Bunnies. Mr. McGregor sees the bunnies ears sticking out of the grass. It is in the ears where we found our shape and sound of the E. Later, we made some bunny ears for Audrey and Ethan to wear on their heads to wear, pretend, and play.       
Our Little Guy turned 4! We started the celebration with a new birthday crown and 4 birthday pancakes stacked up tall with orange sprinkles and 4 candles on top. 
We continued the celebration with a special lunch just for Ethan...an all orange and dinosaur themed lunch. 
An all orange lunch for Ethan! All of his favorites too! Mac and cheese, a cutie, goldfish, orange Starburst, and orange juice.
Ethan could not resist playing with his dinosaurs during his birthday lunch.
Ethan saw this singing hamburger birthday card at Target a while back. Ever since, he has loved pushing the button to make the hamburger sing every time we are at Target. Audrey really wanted to get the card for him for his birthday. That was the best idea because Ethan absolutely loved it!
Happy birthday, dear Ethan! Happy birthday to you!
Our Valentine's Day was extra special this year! Grandma came to visit! We were so excited to pick up Grandma at the airport and spend this day and a few more with her. 
We had French Toast with heart shaped strawberries for breakfast on Valentine's Day. 
We made heart shaped cherry hand pies for dessert on Valentine's Day. Audrey put an "A" on her hand pie, just to be sure we all knew who could eat it! 
For Baking Day, we made stained glass heart cookies. This was one of Audrey's "must do" activities for Valentine's Day. We used one of our favorite sugar cookie recipes, cut them into hearts, cut smaller hearts in the center, and put Jolly Ranchers in the centers to melt. Audrey loved the "rainbow look" of the melted Jolly Ranchers. 
We made some special valentines for our favorite animal friends. Audrey made Bailey peanut butter and oat dog treats. Bailey loved them! She also made birdseed cookie treats to hang outside for our bird friends. 
Audrey rolls out the dough for Bailey's Valentine dog treats.
Audrey hung birdseed cookie treats outside for our bird friends too.
For Painting Day, we made watercolor and oil pastel resist Valentine hearts. Audrey has loved this watercolor technique since we made the snowflakes this way in January. So, she was excited to make hearts this way too! 
Ethan's artwork. I love the way he so naturally puts colors together. It always comes out so beautifully!
One of Audrey's hearts...a vibrant rainbow heart.
This was one of our favorite Valentine treats this year..Valentine Brown Sugar Blondies. The kids loved adding the Valentine colored M&Ms to the batter. When they were done baking, they just gobbled them up. 
One of our favorite seasonal crafts is making stained glass with contact paper and tissue paper in a fun shape. We love putting them on the window near our front door to celebrate the season or holiday. We made pink and red hearts for Valentine's Day!
