What To Do, What To Do
As I went to add pictures to a post the other day a notice came up saying that I ran out of room.
They said I could pay and have more storage space.
It's pretty cheap to buy more storage, but I really don't want to pay,
I tried switching to wordpress, but that wasn't doing it for me.
I have decided to make another blog site and just put a link from this one to that one.
My new blog is

I am hoping to get it all set this weekend and catch up on some fun things we have been doing and learning.

Generosity
This week we focused on being generous.
I chose to do 2 verses with the girls this week.
We kept talking about how we can be generous throughout the week.
At the pool, the girls were sharing a juice box. Ariel told Annabelle not to finish it. I asked her if that was being generous. Then she said, "Well, you can finish it, but not all of it."
Then Annabelle said she didn't want anymore and Ariel said, "That is being generous, Annabelle."
Sometimes I wonder if they are understanding the concepts we are talking about. If I take the time to listen to the girls talk I realize they are taking in what I am teaching them.
Annabelle told Ariel that some people don't have houses, so we can be generous and give them money so they can have a house.
I can continue talking about these characteristcs that I want them to have and I will be able to go more in depth as the girls get older.
I am really loving Kids Of Integrity!

Honesty
This week we focused on Honesty.
This week's verse
The girls do not have a problem with lying, but I think it is a good thing to always talk about. We have always talked about telling the truth and how important it is. So a few weeks ago when I asked Annabelle if she cut her hair, she told me that she did. I asked her why she told me the truth and she said, "because you already knew that I did." I didn't punish her because I was so proud of her for telling the truth right away.
I had a hard time finding bible stories that were on the girls' level so we did some other stories and activities.
We made glittery spider webs. My mom always said this little poem to us:
What a tangled web we weave, when we choose to deceive.
This idea was a little over the girls head, but still a fun craft.
We also played the Truth and Lie Game. I would tell them something and they would have to decide if it was a truth or a lie.
We watched The Boy Who Cried Wolf and talked about how if we lie people won't believe us when we do tell the truth.
Then we played this great game! I told the girls to close their eyes and I would give them some candy.
But really I put salt on their tongues.
They couldn't get enough water :)
Again I told them I would give them candy. Trusting little girls, I gave them more salt.
Again I said I would give them candy. Again they trusted me, although it wasn't as strong. This time I did give them a chocolate chip. Then I did it a few more times with sweet treats so they would fully trust me.
The girls had fun with this lesson!

Fairy Houses Part II
A Fairy House isn't complete without a little glitter.
Annabelle and I glittered her house while Ariel took a nap.
The finished houses
Ariel did decide to work on her house a little more.
Annabelle wanted to hang her house in the tree.

We saw this on pinterest and are hoping to create this soon for our fairy friends.
There may be fairies at the bottom of the garden

Fairy Houses Part I
We bought these Fairy Houses awhile ago and yesterday seemed like a good time to paint and sparkle them.
These little houses were only $1 at Michael's!
Annabelle worked very carefully to create the design she wanted. She did a really good job. She definetly does not get her artistic abilities from my side of the family. James sister Michal and his mom are both really talented.
Ariel wanted to take a break from her house and decided to do some finger painting.
She left us a little present on the house:)

Whenever the girls paint they always end up wearing it - today was no exception.
Ariel said, "I am getting as dirty as I can!"
Good Morning
This morning I ate my cereal outside and it was so nice. So when the girls got up I asked them if they wanted to eat outside. Of course they did. I dragged the little picnic table up and we enjoyed a lovely morning outside.
Ariel thought Arianna might like to try her cereal, but she wasn't interested.
Bubble Time!

Soaking Up the Sun
Every single day we go to the pool.
We swim, eat popsicles, relax, and get our vitamin D!
Not every little girl can say they float around
We swim, eat popsicles, relax, and get our vitamin D!
the pool with their Great Grandma!
