9 Purple Grapes

I do like the convenience of a preschool worksheet, but it is so much more intriguing to get out the construction paper and create what we are learning.  We glued 9 Purple grapes.  The girls cut out their own leaves and stem.  It's great to allow the kids to do that themselves when they can.  Soon I think I will have them start tracing their cut outs as well.  They are very proud of a project that they have completed from start to finish- no 'teacher art' allowed!  (Age appropriate.)

We have very small numbers right now, but are still plugging along in our preschool schedule.  If you know anyone who is looking for preschool childcare, I have a full time spot available!

 Last night it was Fashion Disaster night at AWANA.  We look forward to this night all year!  Here is what we wore.

Here is what we wore last year.  Wow- I have lost weight.  We were exceptionally disastrous, weren't we?

Our Chloe is missing.  For real this time.. I think an eagle may have gotten her.  Eagles don't usually go after cats and dogs, and being that they have a lake to catch fish in, the eagle theory is not likely.  She was a good kitty, always letting the kids pet her.. playing the "Where's Chloe" game with us..  we are still hoping she will return, but it has been five days now and the temperatures have been freezing.  ♥

Someone else we know has been exceptionally lovey and attention seeking lately.. We think he misses Chloe, too.  Funny how he just HAS to beg me to open the door even though there is a perfectly good cat door directly to his right.. what a spoiled baby.  We love it. ♥♥♥

Song for today- Heavy Storm by First Aid Kit.  Happy Thursday!♥♥♥
