February 4th-10th

Legos, Drawing, Star-gazing,

and 100th Day Celebrating...

...were all wrapped into our schedule this past week.

On Saturday,

we headed over to Toys 'R Us

 for their

"Lego Friends Lemonade Stand Launch Party."

(Now, I know that some people have "issues"

with Lego's move to create 

"girlie" Legos.

Our family is quite the opposite-

we are SO EXCITED about them,

and plan on whole-heartedly
supporting the Lego company by 

spending our weekly allowances on the sets...)  ;0)

At the event,

each kiddos who came

(girls AND boys, people!)

received a little

Lemonade Stand Kit.

For each kit that was given away,

Toys 'R Us or Lego 

(I can't remember which company)

donated a dollar to

Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation

for childhood cancer research.

Pretty nifty, huh?

*********************************

Besides Legos,

the kiddos have been a drawing and crafting kick lately...

(*must remember to scrounge up some more

scrap paper*)

Ed Emberley,

we L-O-V-E how you make drawing

accessible for kiddos!

And Jungle Girl,

your duct tape wizardry skills

will never cease to amaze me...

*********************************

On the schooling front,

we are starting an Astronomy Unit,

after being inspired by 

THIS Almanack...

We did some star-gazing

(we love you, Orion!)

and Moon Phasing...

We had a 

math-tastic celebration

Friday,

since it was the

100th Day of School

for us-

FINALLY...

*******************************************

We are also loving on each other

and our friends

as we prepare for Valentine's Day.

Is it REALLY just 4 days away?!?!

I need to keep our crafty mood going

so we can finish all the 

Valentine's Day treats we have for the

special people in our lives...
