The trend for preschool lately seems to have preschool one week and do absolutely nothing the next!!! This past week was our week to do nothing but last week was pretty fun and productive. I didn't do the best job at recording what we did (something I am going to work on) but a few of the things were Montessori type activities. We transferred colored water into the butterfly suction cups with a dropper.
You can see how proud of herself she was because she didn't spill any.
We also transferred water using different utensils into the ice trays, which we used later in our lemonade.
We played with our bug game and cards. I love this activity. We sorted the bugs by color and type and then used the cards to do repeat patterns.
I think I enjoy this more then Ellie. We played Scrabble Jr. or at least the made up way. I found this game in excellent condition for only .99 at Goodwill. We took turns drawing a letter and matching it on the board.
Anytime one of us made a word we got to have the other person do something. Talk about being silly. I think Ellie was doing donkey kicks in this picture.
Some of the activities were run around the kitchen five times, hop up and down, sing a song, act like a frog, act like a baby, and the list goes on and options are endless. We also added the word "is" to our word worm and read lots and lots of books.
We had movie night again and we watched Beauty and the Beast. Since Ellie knew what to expect she was even more excited then last time and the icing on the cake...her friend Abby joined us. They each earned 6 tokens for the week to spend. We watched Beauty and the Beast, ate pizza and lots of junk food!!
They enjoyed picking out their snacks 
but Emily was not happy that she couldn't reach them despite her best efforts!!!
It was so cute listening to the girls chat during the movie.
At one point Ellie said something to Abby about she was happy Abby was at her house and Abby told Ellie that she was her best friend to which Ellie responded "Awwww". I know everyone is there best friend and they might fight five min. later but it is so sweet to watch when they are being so nice to each other. Ellie would snuggle up to Abby and Abby would pat her arm. 
I think I watched them more then the movie. Emily did really well again thanks to a sucker. It was such a fun night!!
That blows me away. She will do it over and over. She rolls cars down it and pushes her stuffed animals down it. She recently has started carrying around baby dolls and while she is carrying the baby she is saying baby...baby. It is so precious!!! My favorite thing she does is flip through books and if I am sitting on the floor she will carry a book over and sit in my lap so I can read it to her. She also has several stuffed animals that she loves! A star wars character that we call her chewy, even though Chris informed me it was an ewok, and a stuffed lion. She sleeps with both of them.
Ellie made dad a card. It was so cute. I asked her a series of questions about Chris and then I just copied down her answers. Two of the cutest questions and answers were:
We also made fruit skewers. Ellie has always loved fruit but lately she has not really wanted fruit unless I had strawberries so I figured if I put the fruit on a stick she would want some and I was right. I made my skewer first and Ellie wanted hers to be just like mine so it was perfect because it snuck in a school lesson of pattering. 
We also made cereal muffins last week and they turned out really good. At first I didn't think they were sweet enough but after a few bites they became addictive and both girls loved them. Here is the recipe which came from this 
Breakfast: Cereal, Waffles, Oatmeal, Toast, Muffins (I am trying a new muffin recipe and if they turn out good I will post it)
