I know I have a lot of catching up to do but for now I'm going to move forward in hopes that I'll be more willing to catch up if the distance from the last post wasn't so long ago. So on to the fun week.
We didn't do a letter this week we focused on Easter. Sunday night we had our family home evening since Mike was going to be gone on Monday. We were going to do a week long advent but the girls were so excited that they did it all that night. One of the activities was to draw a picture of their favorite story about Jesus. Rachel drew a nativity scene and Ashley drew him on the cross. I've said this before and I'm sure it will be said many more times but my girls are complete opposites.
Monday we read "There was an old lady who swallowed a chick" and feed our old lady the items she ate. We then used her again to sort /ch/ sounds since the lady only eats things that start with /ch/. Then they worked together to make this really cute chick that is now hanging on their bedroom door.
Tuesday we read the "Easter Bunny Who Overslept" and did some worksheets that had bunnies on it. We played a new game called Easter bump that the girls really liked. Ashley was thrilled because she won and Rachel wanted a rematch but just against me. Apparently she thought she'd have better luck against me but was wrong.
Wednesday I didn't have a book since trying to get an Easter book the month before Easter is about impossible and I didn't want to buy any since the Easter Bunny will be bringing some. So we played an egg game (this time Rachel won and Ashley needed to play again she didn't win the second time either), they did a couple more worksheets, sorted, and made shaving cream eggs. They came out really cute and were really easy to make. The girls thought the shaving cream felt really funny. Rachel decided she wanted to make puppets for "there was an old woman who swallowed a fly" which led to youtubing it and then watching many other versions.
Thursday we moved on to candy. No Easter is complete without the sweets. The girls did jellybean counting, a jellybean observation where they used all 5 senses. The picture to the right is them smelling it.
We then did the peeps microwave experiment. Rachel thought it would get bigger and melt. Ashley thought it would get hot. It was hot alright. I blistered my finger on the plate trying to take them out. But the girls thought watching the peep in the microwave grow was exciting stuff. 
I was about done after that but Ashley decided you can't have a candy day without playing candyland. She's probably right so the board game came out and after 2 games (Rachel won the first so Ashley had to play again so she could win (are you noticing a trend when it comes to games?) The girls stuffed their egss for the upcoming egg hunts. And ate way too much candy before lunch.
