ADVENTure updates

Look at that turn around baby! I'm thinking I've got to publically declare my procrastination more often haha ...

Here's my idea laid out, I think it's ammature, but it certainly will do :)


Kennady's will have to wait for tomorrow though, that stressed me out a little lol!

ADVENTures of getting Mommy's butt in gear

I'm having a hard time working on the kids' Advent calendars. I bought huge posterboards yesterday and they have just been haunting me, as to how I want to display the lessons we're doing everyday. So progress is better than no progress and here's the idea I came up with (now, actually doing it will be REAL progress) -

That's just the outline I came up with. The table is of the days we're going thru, counting down til Christmas. The little boxes inside there, are the coloring squares they are doing, pictured here -


It's not as glorious as other peoples' ideas, but for our 1st year doing this, I think it's good. They have something daily to learn and color and in the end, they will have a beautifully colored calendar of Advent! I'm excited ...

Now off to get my idea in motion!

ADVENTures of the Fritz's

I wanted to share what we're doing for Advent!

Check it out here!

I am planning on doing the little lesson with the kids, then having them color the little pictures that I have individually printed out. After that, I would like to glue them onto a piece of cardstock that's been covered in Christmas wrapping paper, so that it's got a Christmas present feel. Then I was thinking I could either paste them to a large piece of cardstock that I've already numbered 1-25 or I could have them clothes pin them to a line, one at a time. I'm not sure exactly what I'll do, but I've gotta figure it out today :) haha

If anyone's done this or something similar, could you share with me what you did and your results?
