Letter Project Part 3

Well, I pulled a muscle in my back and so that means I can't really fold clothes or do dishes right? My doctor said only blogging is allowed...or something like that. I feel retarded that it's been so long since I posted about this because now that adds up to a lot of letters, but hopefully it's not too boring for everyone (aka the 2 people who read my blog).

Letter I:
Day 1- We made our "I" out of "ice cubes". I used the clear plastic that batteries
come in and scotch tape to make three dimensional squares. It took awhile but
I think it looks pretty cool- I think I will keep them after this project is
over for play food.
Day 2- We talked about Issac and Rebecca. I never realized that when Rebecca
served the water to the animals that it was Issac's kinsman there and not
Issac himself. I always thought that's how they fell in love- maybe it was,
but indirectly. Am I the only one who didn't know that?
Day 3- We made an igloo! I used stale marshmellows and vanilla frosting piled over
an upside-down bowl. It was fun!
Day 4- We made Irish Creme hot chocolate and read books about Iguanas
Day 5- We played with Ink- (stamps)



Letter J:
Day 1: Macy is OBSESSED with Toy Story right now (and Rapunzel haha), so we made
our "J" out of pictures of Jessie the cowgirl from that movie.
Day 2: I felt like we needed to talk about Jesus for "J"- I told her different
stories each night and looked at tons of art.
Day 3: Ate JELLYBEANS of course!
Day 4: We made Jello and drank special "little" Juice boxes
Day 5: We made a Jester hat out of construction paper =)

Letter K:
Day 1: We made a "K" out of "kisses"- putting on lipstick and kissing the paper!
Day 2: We read and learned about King Benjamin
Day 3: We made a Kitten mask from my mil's notebook of activities
Day 4: Austin's company is called KPMG- we made cupcakes and wrote the letters on
them.
Day 5: I was excited to think of making Kabobs with fruit and cheese for Macy's
dinner.



Letter L:
Day 1: We made "Ladybugs" out of little red stones by drawing black polka-dots on
and made our "L" out of them.
Day 2: We talked about Lehi and his family- we used those Book of Mormon stories
that are drawn- almost like "comics"?
Day 3: Another activity that was in our little activity book was to make scones
and build them into a little alter like stones to use to tell the story
about how Lehi made an alter to pray in thankfulness for saving him and his
family.
Day 4: Lucky for me we inherited a cool bug puzzle where you "build" the bugs- and
one of them was a Ladybug ( I know, lots of the same, but give me a break!
haha).
Day 5: Our wonderful cousins passed down some boy clothes for us to give to
neighbors, lucky for us, though, we caught BUZZ LIGHTYEAR pajamas before we
gave them away! Macy has only worn two things for the last 6 weeks- her
Rapunzel nightgown and these pajamas...
