Alphabet and Scripture Project Part 2

Sooo- I have been wanting to post about my alphabet & scripture project, but with all the things in the way and also not wanting to post every week, I have just been writing down what I did with her. Well, lucky for me Macy likes to spill liquids on everything important... yeah. My list is gone. I'm going to try to remember, but sadly my mind is 1/4 of what it use- to be.

Week 5: E

• Monday we talked about Eve (I'm trying to focus on the awesome women) and we looked at several different pictures of her- I was surprised how much art has been done of her. I just told Macy that the "Adam was a prophet" Adam and Eve are the mommy and daddy of all the people on the earth. Sorry if that is weird for anyone?
• Tuesday we made our little scrambled Egg letter "E"- Macy thought this was cool- I think because of the felt food I've made her.
• Wednesday we made a construction paper "Earth" and I got stickers at the dollar store of plants and animals that had neat facts about them on the back. We talked about how Jesus made the earth
• Thursday we actually did do an Easter Egg Hunt! I recommend doing this! Why do we wait until Easter? I didn't even put anything in them- she just thought it was fun finding them in the family room!
• Friday I got out a "new-to-us" train and track or an Engine if you're being creative haha.

Week 6: F

• Monday when I started with "F" I had a hard time finding anyone scriptural that had a name that started with F- come to find out after looking it up online- names with F don't exist in all of the scriptures! So I decided to go with Faith, since in Nursery they had made little bean plant cups. (that's what the cup above F is)
• Tuesday we made the Feather letter F
• Wednesday we made butterflies- because they Fly- with an amazing little binder of "projects" my mother-in-law made for Macy (and to help me keep her busy!). You use plastic baggies- the ones you just fold over, not ziplock- and strips of different colored tissue paper and a clothespin. You fill the baggie with the tissue paper, either scrunched or just spread around, and then cinch it in the middle and make it stay with the clothespin. Then we drew a little face on the clothespin. Super easy and cute (especially when all the stuff is prepared for you! I think a binder of "stuff to do" with all the things prepared would be an awesome gift for birthdays- I gotta figure out how to do it!)
• Thursday we went to Ross and got a bucket of those little plastic beads that you melt with an iron to melt them together. I loved these when I was younger and I wasn't sure if Macy would be old enough yet, but I could always save them for later. Yeah- she wasn't old enough as you can see by the picture...she dumped the whole thing out. Oh well. So she "helped" me make a "Fortress" (really a castle since we got the princess set) and we melted it together.
• Friday we made Halloween Finger puppets just out of paper.

Week 7: G

• Monday we talked about the angel Gabriel and how he came and told Mary that she was going to have a baby and he was going to be baby Jesus.
• Tuesday we made our G out of Grass
• Wednesday we read Halloween books about friendly Ghosts.
• Thursday we made cupcakes and took them to Give to people in our ward. Someone started a "Boo-ed" little chain letter thing where you leave anonymous treats at people's doors and the people who got the treats have then been "boo-ed" and they have to put up a ghost so they don't get hit again. It was a fun idea!
• Friday Macy got to eat Gold coins I had saved- and frozen!!- from St. Patrick's Day (sorry if that's gross- really they were fine). We talked about colors and treasure.

Week 8: H

• How awesome for me that the "H" week was Halloween week! I broke my "rules" (what rules?) and we just did Halloween things all week long.
• Monday we did talk about Hannah and how she really wanted to have a baby, but she couldn't, so she went to the temple and prayed for a long time and then Heavenly Father helped her have a baby! And that baby grew up to named Samuel who was a prophet!
• Tuesday we made our H out of Halloween stamps ( kinda hard to tell in the picture, I know)
• Wednesday we worked on Halloween costumes (this was a continuing thing) and trick or treat bags (or purse in Macy's case)
• Thursday we got Halloween candy to pass out.
• Saturday I am on Activities Committee and so we went to the church and decorated for the Halloween party that night- it took a while! (I'm counting that for Friday)

Macy and I are now on the letter K but I haven't taken a picture of the wall yet because my camera memory card is full...and I am retarded enough not to know how to put the pictures on the computer. Plus, that would make this post REALLY long- I wonder if it's already too much? Anyways, thanks for reading. Having this to do has really been nice because my days have a goal I can reasonably accomplish and checking things off a never ending to-do list is always good. =)
