B is for Brrrrrrrr!

Tuesdays are turning out to be busy days!  It's our dance class and today, we added an evening ice skating class for a few weeks.  Zoe has been really wanting to do it since the Olympics and we got a super deal on a trial class.  They had SO much fun!  Yes they.  There are people crazy enough to teach 3 year olds to ice skate.  Hey, I would rather pay for it than deal with Lucy watching it all from the sidelines!

Here's a sneak peek (because I can't get these pictures to go in the right order!)

This morning, we worked on our suitcase for our upcoming trip around the world.  The girls loved painting it and we will add stickers from each place we visit and use it to keep up with special projects.

B is the letter of the week for Lucy - and I'm adding just a few sight words for Zoe each week in addition to her reading - we will see how that goes.

Stamping is a big hit!  Time to invest in the lowercase set.

Finished suitcases!

During rest time, Lucy called to me and said "Mommy, it's not snowing yet!"  I realized I hadn't explained the concept of an ice arena!  I think we need to focus on seasons this week!

Lucy's buddy Ava (whose back is to the camera) is taking the classes too.  They had  SO much fun!

Zoe was very nervous and a little disappointed she wasn't able to twirl, but in the end, she said she loved it. 

Lucy got the hang of it a little bit.

Not too much official schoolwork got done today, but we are enjoying having so much time to explore interests and not be run ragged doing activities after a full day away at school.  I am working on finding the balance of not being frantic and enjoying going at their pace while still pushing us forward.  For the most part, I think we are doing OK.
