Winter 2011

Chubbug has been enjoying spending some much needed time outside in the snow. He's been playing in the drifts that we received from the last winter storm and even made a snowman with his dad! Here are a bunch of photos of the play dates outside!!!!

Blizzard Week Projects and Fun!

Well last week was a fun week at the Hertz household, Chubbug was off school Tuesday through Friday and I was off work most of Tuesday through Thursday!!! Recently in school, Chubbug did a test to see how many letters in the alphabet he knew and there are a few that he needs to work on. So, I broke out some homeschooling information I've located on a couple of different homeschooling website and we set off learning some of the letters and working on craft projects. Last week were worked on "S for Snowman".

Since it was Groundhog Day on Wednesday, we also watched Phil's website that evening and learned about groundhog day, read a book relating to the holiday and then made our own Groundhog Phil! As you can see below, Chubbug enjoyed this craft. The only bad thing about this particular lesson is that it started snowing yesterday morning a little and Chubbug didn't understand why because Phil said he didn't see his shadow, so Spring should be here!! LOL

We've also been preparing for Valentine's Day with a few craft projects.

Saturday we spent time at Nana and Papa Hertz's house and tried a little sledding over their large drifts. Chubbug even went airborne at one point. He told us "that's how I roll"..he's watched Dispicable Me tooo many times! I'll hopefully be posting photos of the adventure soon!!

Coming soon.....this weeks adventures at the Hertz household!!!
