Week 2: Monday

My printer is dead...or, at least it's dying...perhaps it has a deadly disease? Anyway, it won't print! It has selective printing capabilities. I've tried changing the ink cartridge, but it still prints if/when/what it wants to. So, we're not printing coloring pages. Actually, I need to have Jason print some off at work and bring them home. THAT'S a good idea.

Anyway, yesterday we started our second weekly theme: the JUNGLE! Fun, right? Sure! Since the printer was being fun, instead of coloring a picture of the jungle, we looked at the coloring page online, and I let Elsie do some freestyle coloring. While she colored, we talked about the vocabulary word of the week: vines. We also talked about animals you can find in the jungle, and decided to take a cue from last week's lesson. In true jungle fashion, we acted like parrots. We flew through the house squawking and flapping our arms. We perched on the couch, the chair, and the edge of the bathtub. Then, we ate lunch.

Our afternoon was much more calm. We snuggled up in the recliner and read Elsie's Bible. We attempted to practice her new scripture, but everytime I initiate practicing it, Elsie reverts to "Genesis 1:1..." so, we'll keep trying.
