I feel like we've been concentrating on the letter M for a month since we've been moving for that long! We are so ready to have all of our stuff in one house and be unpacked and settled. Most nights we don't sit down to relax until 9:30 which gives us enough time to watch 2 DVR'd (totally a word, right?) shows before I'm fighting to stay awake. We just keep telling ourselves that one day, hopefully sooner rather than later, we'll be able to relax and enjoy our new home instead of unpacking or in James' case - building a fence or painting cabinets.
Eventually (hopefully, maybe??) we'll be settled and then we can take some pictures to show how a little paint, a lot of patience and hard work (and new appliances) can take a kitchen from drab to fab!
Ok, back to the point of this here post...the letter M.
For our first craft we made a marshmallow M, smaller marshmallows would have been a better choice but we had big ones in the pantry so that's what we used. Savannah really enjoyed this one, she did a very good job of covering each of the spots where I'd put glue. It was really cute to watch her do this, she kept smashing the marshmallows onto the paper because she really wanted them to stick but since the glue was wet she was only making it more difficult for herself.
She also enjoyed eating the marshmallows.
Since it was a raining and we couldn't play outside, we went ahead and started on the next letter M craft which was making a mailbox. We cut out the pieces, she decorated them and then we taped it together. She's getting very good at drawing circles, up until a couple weeks ago all she could do was scribble but now she makes circles. And her imagination is also developing, if you ask her what she's drawing it ranges from an airplane to the whole family to butterflies.
