Little Reader!

Ashton finished his chart today from his Hooked on Phonics Kindergarten box. He's very proud of himself and earned some marbles for his marble run.

Puppets!

Quinn loves his puppets!

Kisses!

The 3 Little Pigs. For some reason Quinn always gets the pigs and Ashton gets the wolf.

Our Compassionate Obsetrician

Perhaps Ashton has a future in the baby-catching business. Here he is demonstrating a birth with my pelvic & fetal model from class.

Baby is born!

 

Introducing baby to the family & kisses from Quinn!

Christmas Crafts 08

Ashton made chocolate-covered pretzel rods. We had a little trouble getting the chips to melt right. Better luck next year.
Well I don't know how to turn it, but here's Ashton working on our pinecone & acorn ornaments. We made penguins; the directions came from Martha Stewart magazine. It was quite fun!
We also made a lot of bath goodies--salts & fizz & bath bombs.

Sign Time!

Quinn was getting a litte frustrated with not being able to talk yet, so we started teaching him some signs. Here he shows you his two favorites, "milk" and "all done." Ashton has been a big help in teaching him.

Crayon-Making

Sorry we haven't blogged lately. Here are some pictures from our crayon making. Ashton had fun creating color schemes for each of his chunky crayons. His favorite thing to color with his new crayons has been fireworks.

Halloween Week

Our fun started on Sunday with the festival at Blue Ridge Church of Christ. Quinn wore the tiger costume Ashton wore in '04.





On Tuesday, Mommy and Ashton made Great Grammy Whiteman's sugar cookies. Maple extract is the secret ingredient in the icing. Ashton chose to make pumpkins, ghosts, and bats this year.

Daddy spent a few days in Philadelphia hoping to join in on the celebration when the Phillies won the World Series.





On Friday, we finally made it to the pumpkin patch and carved a pumpkin.
