Letter of the Week - W

What!  Our verse this week was 1 Corinthians 6:19 and was great fun to sing together at the table.  We started out the week (and then had to do it another day as well b/c it was such a hit) painting with water in the driveway.  I didn't think this activity would be that exciting but I was wrong!

Inside our first craft was a white day.  We all wore white, made a white collage, and went on a white scavenger hunt.  For dessert that night we had a few marshmallows.

Next we made a watermelon W.  This craft worked out really well and the girls enjoyed it.  Rather than punching out the seeds, I reverted to cutting out bigger pieces of black paper.  The dots were just too small for their hands. 

Seeded watermelons at the commissary were huge, like 10lbs huge, but I needed the seeds for a craft...

So, we ate watermelon a lot this week!  For dessert on our Family Fun Night Friday, we had watermelon lime smoothies and they were delicious!  Even with all this watermelon eating, I was able to give half of the melon to our neighbors! 
Another watermelon craft with paper plates went over very well..

Our Letter of the Week activities were heavy on counting so we also played a number game outside where we played some music and danced around.  When the music stopped, we had to end on a number and identify it.  Faith had a great time with the game and Rebekah showed her recognition of the numbers 8 and 5!

Our meals this week were watermelon, waffles, and even water :)  Our books were One Watermelon Seed and Eating the Alphabet.  For our family night we ended up painting with water again in the driveway because Rebekah was fighting a cough.  However, the next day we played in the water at the pool and had a great time!
