Spring will officially arrive this year and we can't wait! Warm weather is welcome in this neighborhood for sure. We got a taste of the warm weather this weekend, but today it's back to being cold and rainy, so it didn't make for such a great day to talk about Spring's arrival, but the weather should get better throughout the week. Back in the Fall, we had a very last minute, but super fun Fall Dinner that included sweet potatoes, pumpkin pie, and placemats made with colorful leaves, so I'm planning to do something similar for Spring on Wednesday. I'm hoping we can get outside tomorrow and/or Wednesday and collect flowers to put in vases and to flatten on placemats and have a fun Spring Dinner Wednesday night. I don't know that there is necessarily a "Spring Food" that we could eat, but I think we'll just grill out and enjoy spending some time outside if it warms up like it's supposed to.
We are also focusing on counting from 0-20 this week. Rachel can already count that far on her own, so I'm having her learn how to spell the numbers. Ford can make it to 15 before he gets stuck, so he's going to work on getting all the way to 20 by the end of the week without getting stuck. We'll just see what Ruby does. Some days she counts and some days she doesn't!
We're also going to read lots of Spring books this week. We found a book at the library last week about the Science of Spring and talked about water warming up, buds forming on trees, and baby bunnies being born. It's fun to be riding in the car and the kids spot buds on trees or to go for a walk and spy them outside. It's kind of like a real-life Spring version of I Spy.
