Win a Prize – from ME!

   Posted by: vw bug    in Family

How do you win this prize? Come up with a theme for the week for my kids along with 3 crafts that are fairly easily done by a 5 year old. You can see examples in my previous posts about Snakes and this week being Trains and probably the American Flag next week (thanks to Quality Weenie). I still need ideas… I can come up with the books, the math and the like… but the crafts and what theme is the hard part. If you do this for me and send me an email or post a comment, I’ll purchase one of these for you:

A Tall Ship and the Wind’s Song, an Amazon Short by Patrick G Cox
Let Him In Constancy…, an Amazon Short by Patrick G. Cox
Facing the Banshee, an Amazon Short by Patrick G. Cox
Troubled Summer, an Amazon Short by Patrick G. Cox

Been busy getting this week set up for train week. My sister reminded me I was going to pull out the boys trains and the week I did that, I should do train week. I brought them out Sunday night… And I put it off until Monday to work on their assignments… ugh but getting there… here is a sample math page I made in word for today:

Needless to say, not much to post… busy with life…
