Love is in the air!!

yep, it's that time again.. Valentine's Day!! Saw in my updates that 1+1+1=1 posted really neat love printables... so i turned to my Cricut machine to get some hearts cut out real quick. :-) I did use the 1Corinthians verse printout she offered & then I wrote an attribute on each heart. Then Bubba used the hearts to make a pretty border around the verse. I absolutely love it! & to finish it off, a cute LOVE sign :-)

 Here's what our art wall looks like so far

Raising a Rock Star!!

As I've been surfing the blog world, I came across this really neat blog called "Raising Rock Stars". I've been wanting to start Bible stories with Bubba for awhile, but didnt really know where to start... well, this blog changes all that! Just click on a link & you're off!! If you'd like to learn more about this great idea, just click the link -->  Raising Rock Stars!

We've spent the past week & a half learning about Creation & The Fall of Adam & Eve. Using the resources provided, I printed off some amazing coloring pages. We even started on a bible verse! (Totally Tots - ABC verses) I am soo in love with the fact that while I am teaching Bubba a bible verse, I am also working on a letter of the alphabet!

We picked up this really neat book in VA called "Let Your Light Shine: a story about helping others" (based on Matthew 5: 15-16). It's an adorable story about a lighthouse that helps others in times of need.. i love that there's a button to push that causes the lighthouse to flash it's light & it plays "this little light of mine" *side note - the music can get obnoxious on long car rides from VA to FL.... i dont know what i was thinking!!

 

So for both lessons I read David the story & then we had coloring pages to go along with the story, but I thought it would be really neat to make something to hang on our "art wall" each time we complete a lesson.

So we made a world for Creation

I love this! Bubba was very into putting the pieces of "land" where he thought they should be. He even moved one piece four times before deciding it was in the right spot!

and an apple tree for The Fall of Adam & Eve

 This was an interesting masterpiece to watch being created... Bubba was very picky about the leaves.. He only wanted 1 leaf on each branch & he made sure they were all on the end of the branch. (oh the mind of a 2 year old!) & that leaf in the middle?? apparently he thought my Cricut should have made an extra branch :-)

Our Bible verse we learned this week was "Keep me as the apple of your eye" Psalm 17:8a

I am so excited about starting our next lesson: Noah's Ark!!

Our very first Muffin Tin Monday!!!

So I've been checking out this cool idea: Muffin Tin Monday. Up until now, I just haven't felt creative enough to get into it, but when I saw that the theme was Dr Suess.. well, I knew I just had to do it this week!! So here we go! Our very first Muffin Tin Monday!!

Our theme is "The Lorax".. one of our favorite books!
* Truffula Trees (toast w/ butter.. i had 2, but Bubba snuck one)
* gluppity-glup & schloppity-schlop (strawberry yogurt w/ crushed oreos)
* Truffula fruits (fruit snacks)
* Humming Fish (gold fish)
* block with sign "unless" - apple juice in a recyclable container :-)

Bubba has gotten extremely picky in his eating, we're in that terrible 2 stage.. but he sat right down & dug in!! He was so excited! We will definitely be doing this again!
