Never have the letters been so fun!

A few friends of mine and myself started a preschool co-op for our youngest kiddos this fall.  It is a letter-based curriculum with books, crafts, free play, and a gross/fine motor mix.  We each teach a different week/different letter and host.  It is a lot of fun and motivating...I know I need help getting motivated teaching the third kiddo!  I think the kids are having a blast.  This morning, the first thing I heard from Silas when he woke up was him singing his alphabet.  Here are a few highlights over the past two months.

Ninjas!

Ninjas have taken over our house!  I blame Lego for that....  The boys are really into it right now and decided to be ninjas for Halloween.  I have never bought dress-ups to wear on Halloween before.  I usually wait until the day after and buy them on clearance.  But, this year, I couldn't resist and knew these would get a lot of use!  Here are a few videos of the boys showing off their ninja skills on our new back deck.
