Ii is for Ice Cream/ Bathroom Update

We are working on the letter Ii.  The kids know that the letter Ii has two sounds.  We usually create ice cream when working on the letter Ii.  This time I remembered to trace the pieces for the kids to cut them out.

Snip...snip...snip...

Learning to operate with scissors is so scary for me!  It's not a good idea to just give scissors to a group of children under the age of five and let them figure it out by themselves.  It's definitely a one on one job.   I get a little panicky with scissors.  We all survived though!

The kids glued the pieces onto the paper and drew in some lines on the cone.  

Look at all of that ice cream!! YUM! 

Meanwhile, new framing and insulation has gone into the bathroom.

We also replaced the old window.  We hadn't originally planned on doing that, but Adam learned how and now that he knows what to do we can slowly start replacing every window in our house.  

They are all TERRIBLE.  The trouble with this window was that bathroom windows as large as ours are not available.  They have to be custom made.  We just purchased a regular window in a smaller size and will apply the film covering to the glass for privacy.  The next step is to bring in a tub!  Meanwhile, we are managing just fine with the sponge bathing.  I must say that I am thankful that we chose the kitchen sink faucet that we did, it has a nice high arch that is perfect for washing hair in the sink.
