We did lots of great activities this week...I have capped the pictures at 24...you are welcome;)
Granny and Ryleigh playing with a Melissa and Doug Puzzle
While Aunt Laura was visiting, she and Ryleigh worked on some puzzles... did lots of dancing... and worked on colors& shapes...
This week for our stART project we made pretzels... 
Braeden and Anna watching the girls play projects...
The girls did the dot paintings with the bingo markers again...they did these a couple of times this week...but I am just including a picture of one...mainly because it looks pretty much the same...:) 
The Letter of the Week for us was "K" (is for Kite). I had the girls color on the kites, then glue some decorative tissue paper on...and added some ribbon for the string...I think they came out much cuter than last weeks "J's"....
Ryleigh sharing with Elena...Red is Elena's favorite color...
We used tweezers to transfer tiny pom poms from a baby food container to the suction cup part of those "tub things"... a great fine motor activity.
Braeden playing with one of his Christmas gifts from Bubbe... (Ryleigh is finding Braeden lots of fun these days as he starts playing with more things..)
I made Ryleigh a button snake...I have seen them on many blogs and I knew she would like it...and she does.... I will make a few more with different size buttons....I sewed a button onto a piece of ribbon and then cut many pieces of felt for her to use....
My Grandparents got her these adorable beads for Christmas...they have different colors and the alphabet on them...she had fun calling out the letter and putting it on the pipe-cleaner.
She is really enjoying her new scissors... and can now hold the piece of paper and cut all the way across it...YAY!!!!
I put some of the pages of Ryleigh's Kumon tracing book in page protectors, gave her a dry-erase marker and let her do the pages...over and over again....
Unfortunately Sir Braeden has gotten too big (heavy) for his swing...this is making nap time a little difficult...luckily he has fallen in love with a new chair...and this one goes up to 40 pounds...
Being the outdoorsy person that I am...I brought the snow from our blizzard inside for Ryleigh to play with.... she totally enjoyed this and played with the snow for quite some time... we did a few experiments with it...one of which is pictured below...the other had to do with food coloring...fun..but messy...
Ryleigh pouring warm water over the snow to watch it disappear....
Ryleigh's friend Emily turned 3 last week and at her party
Michelle had the girls color on fabric bags...so fun!!! They used fabric markers...I didn't get a picture of Ryleigh's finished bag- but it came out looking tie-dyed....very cute.
We ended our week with a trip to the Dentist (a Ryleigh and Elmo first)... She did great and apparently Elmo had a great time and is looking forward to going again. They counted Ryleigh's teeth-she has 20..and Elmo's- he has 0.
Ryleigh (and Elmo) working on her button snake while we waited in the waiting room...
Elmo took a ride in the chair first...
Ryleigh sat on Mommy's lap and got her teeth counted
Braeden...watching...thrilled to be there... 
Ryleigh and Elmo with their "goody bag" watching Daddy get his teeth checked... 
Marc...super excited that I now document these fun filled field trips for my blog...

Ryleigh and Braeden practicing their letters .... 
I had Ryleigh paint snow with food coloring and water... She LOVED it....I saw this fun activity on A Mommy's Adventures...
This is what we woke up to this morning.... EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEK!!!!
Ryleigh and Daddy out in the snow building a snowman....
Braeden...sharing his stacking toy with Ryleigh...
Ryleigh practicing her patterns with these fun 3-D insects.... she sat down and pretty much did the entire booklet all at once...and LOVES playing with them....
We had a playdate in the beginning of the week and the girls made some pumpkin muffins....
While they waited for the muffins to finish baking they seemed to all congregate around the table...so I gave them file folder games to play with.... apparently it is always school time at our house.... :-)
Braeden with his girls while their sisters were baking....
Braeden and Juliette playing with blocks...waiting for the muffins to be ready...
Ryleigh practicing putting her numbers in order 1-20...... I also use these number cards to help her practice her spanish numbers... (and they are also our numbers for my Calendar Board)....
Braeden practicing his coloring...his most favorite past-time....
This week we did the sight word "do"... I had the girls put stickers under the word "do" in books from Hubbards Cupboard....
We did a fun science experiment...the illusion of color change... 
Braeden woke up from his nap in time to play tunnel with the girls...
