Practicing numbers with Hopscotch

It was another hot and humid day. Majority of the day was spent being lazy and staying indoors but when the sun started to set it cooled down a bit and we headed out on the patio to enjoy some fresh air. My hubby has the whole week off so today started our "staycation." We started the "staycation" with some good ole chalky fun!

First I made a hopscotch for my daughter and we had a lot of fun reviewing numbers and then hoping on one leg then both legs. I was reinforcing which leg was her right and her left. Lots of good little lessons were added to our outside fun today.

Then daddy's artsy side kicked in and he drew a nice picture.

Then Selah and I drew a butterfly together. :)

It's so nice to see a child playing outdoors. Nowadays most children prefer to stay indoors with their PSPs and computer games. Visiting from Hopalong Friday bloghop!

"The Reading Game" Review and Giveaway

Description: The first book in The Reading Game learn-to-read series tells the story of a skunk without a stripe who is rejected by the other skunks but finds acceptance among some cats and becomes their defender. It’s told in rhyme, is beautifully illustrated, and is 32 pages long. It will be the first book the student reads, and there are five more to follow in this groundbreaking learn to read program. Each of The Reading Game's six stories is told using just thirty new words. These are broken down into six sets of five words. The student learns to read each set of five words by playing a simple word matching game. Frequent exposure through play hard wires these words into long-term memory. Rote learning is transformed into a fast-paced game with a winner every few seconds. After completing Skunk, Game 1, the student has learned five words (can, cat, is, me, not). Playing Game 2 adds an additional five words (sad, she, stay, this, with). The s

Dry Idea: Deodorant Review and Giveaway

I know most of you know I was at kids camp last week and I think I mentioned the humidity and heat that we had that week! I was daring as I only brought my new Dry Idea deodorant that I had never used prior. I had no idea if it was going to keep me from smelling like B.O or if I was going to have sweaty pits. So how did the Dry Idea hold up to the hot and humid days at kids camp??? Arms raised high during worship in the morning and in the evening! :) I was dry and I did not stink! :) WOOT WOOT! I had the unscented brand and I usually do prefer a pretty scent but it worked and they do have scents which include powder fresh and cotton dry that I might try in the future. :) The Dry Idea Roll-On is 24 hour protection, fast drying MicroCotton Formula, hypo allergenic, and contains Vitamin E. :) Don't like roll on's?? They do offer Clear Gel and an Invisible Solid. :) Dry Idea provided a free sample of their Advanced Dry roll-On so I could review them. However,
