Wild and wacky "W" week 2

This week, we listened to classical composers such as Wagner and ate walnuts and wings. We paid lots of attention to the weather and Jacob played with his truck named "Whopper".

The kids had fun reading our "Where's Waldo?" books:

We finally hung the magnetic bars that make up the kids' art walls:

We walked in the woods:

And visited Walley Creek:

Madison made a sugar crystal in science class this week and spent a lot of time watching and waiting:

We ate watermelon:

Madison and Jacob painted with water:

We made a wax paper leaf creation:

We read lots of "W" books:

And of course, coloured lots of "W" pictures:

Madison and I started a weaving craft kit:

We borrowed a scale from school and had fun weighing things around the house (here Mads is weighing the whole world!):

I bought the kids whistles ages ago, and just pulled them out this week. Jacob was terrified to even try his, but Mads was keen, and it quickly became an "outside toy only":

I baked white chocolate raspberry muffins:

Jacob and I read some of this book:

And Mads and I read lots of this one:

Jacob created this woodpecker:

He also wore his wood turtle shirt this week:

Madison worked hard on a project:

She also wrote a "W" poem in the shape of a worm:

Grandad played Playdoh with Jacob and made this worm family:

And Madison worked on a reading lesson all about worms:

Our paper plate "W" web craft:

Our Sabbath school craft this week was wreaths of plants of the Bible:

And finally, these "W" treats helped me through a very stressful week:

"W" proved to be busy and full! There were many things on our list that we didn't get to do! We didn't ride the waterslide at the local pool, we didn't take any pictures of our local wildlife (deer and rabbits), we didn't visit Westwood Lake or Wild Play, and we didn't watch any "W" movies (such as Willy Wonka, Free Willy, or Wall-E).
