Fun Learning Games.....
This past Christmas my hubby bought the kids Sum Swamp. The games teaches the kids addition, subtraction, and even and odd numbers. It's a fun way to work on math problems in a fun way. Well today I decide to pick up a game called, Digging Up Sight Words. It looks like a great way to have the kids practice reading and also learn 260 sight words. We have not played it yet, but I'm looking forward to using it this coming week and months ahead.

Children's Bible....
Since the end of last summer I have been using this Bible Story Book with the kids that also have a nice coloring book to go with it. We are still working through it and they love it and it's so nice to use at breakfast time. Just recently I came across a Children's Illustrated Bible by Selina Hastings. I was able to get it from the library to see if I would like it and it is awesome. I then went on Ebay looking and found it for $5 with shipping and order it. You can also find it on Amazon. I am looking forward reading it with the kids. Make note that they make two sizes, so if your interested in getting one you will probably want to get the bigger one, which measures 10.5" x 8".
