Videos of the Kids

These are some videos that the kids wanted me to take and show everyone on my blog!

I LOVE the hands on the hips at the end of this video!! (It's only 11 seconds long)

This one is Brianna playing soccer. It's 1:50 long and VERY shaky because I was playing with her while taping.

This video cracks me up because it shows the difference between Hunter and Brianna. Hunter wants to play after Brianna is done, but he immediately gets distracted by a spider - which he crushes with his boot - and then is totally done playing after just one kick. I love it!

A friend gave the kids the idea to stand on the slide and make tunnels, and they had a lot of fun doing their new trick.

 New game alert! Okay, I found a website that has a ton of math games and all you need are Uno cards! This was a game called "Snappo". Basically, you lay out your cards one at a time and have to match the pairs that add up to 10. It was a great game to practice addition, and of course you could take some cards away and change the numbers, or switch over to subtraction. We really enjoyed this.

 You see the winner's pile! (I normally don't let my children beat me in card games but I made an exception!)

Hunter's math work:

Our favorite library books this week:

 Brianna's reading books:

This is a 3-minute video of Brianna reading one of her Orton-Gillingham books:





This video is 2 1/2 minutes long. Almost every night, Bri makes up a song at bedtime. I always wish I had my camera to tape her. This particular night, I did! I really hope you can understand her. We were trying to be quiet so we didn't wake up Hunter in the next room. For some reason I got tickled about something she said so I was trying to hold in my hysterical laughter and keep quiet, which resulted in lots of snorting while laughing! I apologize for that! (I was leaving for the beach with some girls from church the next day, which is what she is talking about at the end)
