The week in review

It has been an interesting week in our house!  We discovered a new BMX bike track about 30 minutes from our house that we just had to try out!!!  Surprisingly, Davian never hesitated getting on the track and was "gettin' air" before we knew it!  Tegan?  Well...its not really suited for training wheels.  So he found other ways to get air.

This week also was the beginning of a new school year.  Davian was really ready to get back into school, even if he wouldn't admit it!  Picking on your little brother is only fun for so long.  He was also thrilled that he wouldn't have to wear those blasted collared shirts anymore.  He could actually pick out whatever he wanted to wear to school.  Austin and I, on the other hand, were not so excited about having to school shop.  SMOD is just so much easier!

Here is my big guy on the first day of school! 

I think his teacher is going to be a perfect fit this year!  After all, if she can do this to my exuberant, energetic guy, she gets an A+ in our book!



Tegan also started school this week.  Pre-K at home with mommy.  We have started studying all the letters of the alphabet, learning how to write them.  We go on word hunts for words that start with the sound.  This week we started with the letter "L".  We are also learning our sights words.  We are starting out slowly, only 1-2 per week.  He is really enjoying and I am too!  All of our resources are coming from 1+1+1=1.  It is an amazing site with FREE home school resources!  LOVE IT!

Here Tegan is underlining his sight words for the week: I, see

(This sight word book comes from Hubbard's Cupboard)

Here he is sorting animals that live on land or in the sea.  We were reading lots of books about the ocean.  

Next week (or rather, this week since I am finishing this post SO late), starts soccer.  We can't wait!!!!
