How Triplets Are Born Video

Here's a funny little video that my 13yr old took (hope you don't need Dramamine) in the car today. One of our 3yr olds explains How Triplets Are Born. Great carpool conversation!

Enjoy!

Triplet Twitter - 3 1/2

Princess: "I'm not from this planet. I am in charge." Really?!!!

Cheerleader: Daily "Take me on a date, Daddy."

Little Mr.: Tonight "You rub my back, Mommy..... Aww...Perfect." Heart Melting....
Then the next second, "Don't pee in your pants, Mommy."

And then he announced proudly after coming out of the shed with Daddy that he was in the man caGe.
I'll have to remember that next time the men get unruly in the house!

Happy Potty Dance

It's only been 3 1/2 years coming....

But yesterday was our first

Diaper and Accident free day!

WhooooHoooo!

Our last little Mr. is on Day 3 of our potty training week

and he had an awesome day!

This makes this Mommy so happy, as he refused even putting on

big boy unders for a year.

This Mama was not ready,  nor was he until this week.

That is why it's been a year, since our first triplet

potty trained herself, that I really tried with our little Mr..

And we've been tweeking some issues with another triplet this week

and she has done amazing as well.

We are staying home all this week to help get everyone on board

with this potty training thing...

Valentine's - Letter "V"

Here's our Valentine to you!

We just wish we could give you a Lollipop to go with it!

We had lots of fun doing Tot School this week.

 Most of our printables came from Confessions of a Homeschooler - PreK Letter V

I went CRAZY with all the fun over there!

Love it!

 Upper and lowercase letters.

 Bubba hard at work...(love the tongue)

K-bug very proud of herself for stacking hearts by size.

 Writing practice.

Eating Counting practice.

 We love this game! So does Mommy, but only the orange ones!

Love Bug Matching game and Preschool Love Pack from 1+1+1=1.

Getting some real-life sorting done.

Here's a sneak peek at our Love Lesson for my 13 year old.

We're linked up with Tot School

 

This is how I'm organizing all of our preschool lessons so far.

When you're pinching pennies, you use what you have lying around.

So I found this three ring binder with pocktes in the front cover for our laminated

smaller items. There are also things there waiting to be laminated.

I didn't want to laminate everything (costly) and found a bunch of page protectors.

For the lessons that need a dry erase pen, we use the protectors.

The pens work great on them and wipe off clean. Then when I'm done with

a unit I can file them away and reuse the protectors.

Much more cost effective.

And the fun thing is....All our lessons (Letters S,M&V) are now

ready to go on the road! We are excited to share our school with cousins this

week and to show Grandma just how smart we are ;)! 

Here's the link to our Valentine Sensory Bin.

Happy Valentine's Day!

And More Mess

Put shaving cream and a couple of drops of food coloring

in a ziploc baggy and let the kids squish it and mix it!

 We had fun driving our cars "up, down, up, down".

Letter "M" Printouts - Confessions of a Homeschooler

 We love our Mitten Stickers

Story Time

Circle Time

This game is so much fun!
Found this game and many, many more finger games and these printables at
Oopsey Daisy Blog

It goes like this:

My Poor little kitten lost her mitten

And started to cry boo-hoo.

So I helped my kitten to look for her mitten,

Her beautiful mitten of BLUE.

Our IM&M's were pretty good at waiting their turn to pick the

color of mitten I read in the poem.

I found these cute printable mittens and the game
"Red mitten, red mitten, what do you see?"
over at Child Care Land.

Game Time

 I am impressed with how well Kbug and Princess did at
their first writing practice sheet.
I put these printouts in sleeve protectors for now and they use dry erase markers on them.
It works pretty well.

 M&Ms for the Snowman Button Game

K-bug learning to count with her fingers.
