The Moon of OZ

She needed some concentration food.

Moons and M's

It's "Let's Learn About: The Moon" this week for Izzy.  It should have been last week, but she was sick and resting so we took the week off.  She now knows the difference between full, half, crescent, & new moon. She practiced writing her M's and 2's and we did a reflection experiment using a globe, mirrors, and a flashlight to show her how the moon shines.  She is now also more than halfway through with the second level in Hooked on Phonics! (which is the best learn how to read series in my opinion) Yay!  Ty and Izzy then painted.  Ty made a picture of a butterfly and flower while Izzy made half a dozen pictures of fish and spiders.

Enjoying leftovers for lunch.

After lunch a package arrived for Izzy.  It was a Dorothy costume (from The Wizard of OZ) from one of her Grandma's.  She immediately put it on and then Ty, HQ, and I HAD to play The Lizard of OZ with a Cinderella flair to it.  Following is a scene from the Lizard of Oz where Dorothy needs to get the orange out of the Lizard's hand but she unfortunately falls asleep after smelling a flower. 

The Lizard of Oz and Tada, Dorothy's little sister.

Ty and I were able to go out for a date tonight.  Ty's mom (Grandma Orpi) watched the girls for a couple hours while we went to the Cheesecake Factory and used our gift certificate for a delicious dinner.  It's always awesome to spend alone time with him.  We then spent about 15 minutes browsing a baby clothing store.  Who are we?!  

We picked up the girls and Izzy had picked three beautiful little white roses from Grandma and Grandpa Orpi's yard for me.  We learned HQ had pasta for dinner and managed to get it all over herself and Grandma.  She's just like her dad!
