Highlights of our week:

FireFighter dramatic play- We were great firefighters!

Purposeful play with fire trucks

Helping Strawberry Shortcake up the ladder to safety. :)

largest to smallest.  After doing this one day, L has done this with all his trucks to following days.  Too cute!  Wow, We have a lot of fire trucks! ;)

Puzzles.  L enjoys doing puzzles, especially things that go!  Oh and notice the boots, he now calls them fire boots and has worn them around the house for days. :)

Putting out the fire.  L rang the bell and we raced down the porch steps to put out the fire (flames drawn in chalk).  

L's turn.

RRS work and cutting.  Can you see the scribbles all over the 3 pages?  This is what happens when mom gets a phone call and GB has to wait! 

Reading her book to daddy.  Probably one of her favorite parts of school are her little books she can read by herself. ;)  (Few words, picture clues, repetition, perfect building blocks to reading!)  I hope she continues to love reading!  That's my favorite thing to teach and watch being learned.

Fire Truck Snack- graham crackers, icing (powered sugar/milk) mini oreo wheels, cereal and pretzel ladders.  I didn't have any small pretzels, so we made due!

Fire Truck Breakfast -jelly toast, cereal lights/windsheild, nutella coved banana wheels.  "Best toast Ever!"

We did our orange lunch (I forgot last week) Mac & cheese (not sure if it's actually orange or yellow), carrots/ranch & oranges.  Rectangle lunch with sandwiches, apples  & gogurt all in retangles on rectangle plates!
