Week in Review

It's been another busy week, thus the one big blog post to catch up on the entire week!  While the kids were at Awana this week, Steve and I were able to go to Costco - together and without kids!  I don't think that has happened in over five years!  I am sure the kids hope that we do that again as we came home with a Lightning McQueen "beep beep" for Shane and a two movies for Faith!  Shane has loved riding Faith's Winnie the Pooh "beep beep" (that is Shane's name for the car thing!), and we just couldn't pass up one for just him!  And he actually does like it, despite the picture above!  He just isn't into pictures these days! 

At Awana Faith was able to recite her memory verse to her leader, which earned her a vest!  As she continues to learn Bible verses, she can earn badges to put on the vest.  Faith was incredibly excited about earning this vest!  She told us all about how they called her name to go up to the stage, and they gave her the vest, and how is is just the right size for her!  It was adorable to hear her recall the event over and over to us with such excitement!  In the picture she is also holding her book that she earned which has the verses to memorize in the coming weeks.  What I thought was the best part of her learning Bible verses was when I heard her asking the ladies who work in the kids club at the gym if they knew John 3:16.  And before waiting for an answer, she spouted off the verse! 

Shane has been riding his new beep beep all over the drive way! 

He also has discovered the joy of hiding under this fake rock!  He thinks it is hilarious to hide under there and then move around while we aren't looking!  Quite often I just see this rock and the two little legs running around the backyard!


We had to get a quick picture of Faith before soccer practice this week as she was wearing her Calvin t-shirt!  I am sure she is the only five year old in Ventura with a Calvin shirt!

In kindergarten this week, the letter Faith learned  in terms of phonic and recogniction was B. She made another page for her alphabet book, cutting out pictures of things that start with the letter B.

And here she is showing all the letters that she learned how to write.  This week it was N, B, P, and M.  She also had to practice writing her last name.  While she still has a ways to go in all of her handwriting, she is making progress every day, which is great to see!  Upon asking what her favorite things that she learned this week, Faith mentioned marking dates on a time line, learning about the types of clouds, and ancient Egypt.
