Cards and Writings by Olivia

This is a card Olivia made for me one day in early January when I was sick. 

I think it's definitely worth remembering.

 

 This is a picture of Olivia's most recent homework.  The assignment was to write two sentences about a picture.  I had already helped with spelling in the first 2 sentences. 

 The third sentence should read "He breaks the leaves" instead of "He brax the les". 

Sentence four should be "He takes off the leaves" instead of "He tax off the les". 

Sentence 5 is fairly close, reading "The bus triv" instead of "The bus drives."  

 Sentence six reads perfectly, "The bus is yellow." 

I just wanted to  remember what phonics is to a kindergartener!

My Silly Boy

January was pretty darn dreary, as I have said before.  One  our funnier moments was Spencer "dressing himself" in Olivia's pants.... backwards.  

Bogus Vegas

January seemed like the longest month ever.  We had three straight weeks of frigid zero degree temperatures at night.  During the days, it only reached the teens.  There was an inversion covering the valley, and for all but one, maybe two days, there was no sign of the sun.  We were fortunate enough to head up to "Bogus Vegas", as Olivia called Bogus Basin, for two hours of tubing a few weekends ago with friends.  It was beautiful!  We saw sunshine, blue sky, and thirty-degree temperatures that had us taking off at least one layer of our winter snow gear.  It was a blessing to see the sunshine!

 

 Big smiles before the tubing began! 

She got a little cold and upset at one point, but overall she did great!

This little guy was a trooper the whole time we tubed.

Olivia and her best bud, Tucker! 



We made it through and were happy to have such a beautiful blue sky for a backdrop!

We were bummed to have to return to the valley, which was covered by a dense, brown layer of fog.

A Profile Picture

Olivia asked me this afternoon what a profile picture was.  I tried my best to explain the term, but it was kind of tough.  She came back 5 minutes later and had on lip gloss, a headband, and her Christmas dress over her clothes.  She was going to change her profile picture on her Leap Pad 2 (her Christmas present) from Rapunzel to her own picture.  I thought she looked pretty darn cute!

My Batman

Spencer got Batman pajamas and a Batman robe (that's a little too long) for Christmas. 

He thinks they are pretty darn cool!

Winter Spirit in Lewiston

I am having some blogging difficulties downloading pictures, so my posts have slowed down a bit.

We went to Lewiston for Christmas and enjoyed the Winter Spirit light display.

Olivia and Spencer both had fun.

They didn't want to go at first. 

However, one we went, they were ready to go the next day.

I think Grama had fun, too!
