Spell Time

Lately Little C's favorite activity is Spell Time. we got this tool in a garage sale for $0.50 cents. My daughter plays with it at least twice a day.

This game is great for a child's spelling and reading.I like this game because kids can tell the difference between colors,they can build words on their own and also it is fun!!The most important part for me is the self-correcting feature gives them instant feedback. The success they have with Spell Time helps to improve not only reading but also writing.
I also take this game whenever we go out for dinner..we play with it while we wait for our food to arrive.

Very easy to store!

Últimamente la actividad favorita de la pequena C es el juego de deletrear.Obtuvimos este juego en una venta de garaje por $ 0,50 centavos. Mi hija juega con él al menos dos veces al día.

Este juego es muy bueno para la ortografía y lectura de un niño .Me gusta este juego, porque los niños pueden diferenciar los colores, pueden formar palabras por sí mismos y también es divertido! La parte más importante para mí es la función de autocorrección.

Llevo este juego cada vez que salimos a cenar .. para jugar con él mientras esperamos nuestra comida.

Muy fácil de almacenar.
I think there are 17 or more picture boards.

Este juego viene con algo de 17 tarjetas de figuras.

The letters have color codes..if the letter doesn't go there it won't fit in the little holes...self correction!

Las letras tienen diferentes codigos de colores. Si la letra no pertenece a la palabra simplemente no entra en los espacios. De esa manera los ninos pueden auto corregirse.

Very organized way to keep all the stuff.

Tiene diferentes compartimientos para mantener todo en su lugar.

Sailing day

A while ago we made a boat from sticks we collected in one of our walks. We really have fun playing with it.. This weekend we went camping, we took Little C's boat with us to play at the lake..she discovered that "her boat floats",she loves loves loves it!

It is simple to make, you just need sticks (I didn't have to cut them or anything like that..those sticks were the right size), some wool and scissors.

Hace un tiempo hicimos un bote de palos que recolectamos en uno de nuestros paseos.
Realmente nos divertimos jugando con el bote .. Este fin de semana nos fuimos de campamento,llevamos el bote de la pequeña C con nosotros para jugar en el lago .. ella descubrió que "su bote flota", le encanta!

Es fácil de hacerlo, sólo se necesita palos (no tuve que cortarlos, ni nada de eso .. los palos eran del tamaño adecuado), un poco de lana y tijeras.

We tied the sticks together using the wool.

Atamos los palos juntos usando la lana.

Then we tied one of the sticks to the middle of the boat.

Luego atamos un palo al centro del bote.

Ready to sail!!

Listo para navegar!!


And of course the captain of the boat is Little C.

Y por supuesto la capitana del bote es la pequena C.

Letting it up drying after 2 hours playing with it.

Dejando el bote secar despues de haber jugado dos horas con el.

Oh no wait!!

Oh no espera!!
Back to play..

A regresar a jugar se ah dicho!

Simple things are the best most of the time!!

Las cosas sencillas son las mejores la mayor parte del tiempo!

Oatmeal cookies

I love baking with little C because it gives her the chance to get messy and feel different textures..it is really fun!
Here for the video recipe. I also like to try different recipes...you know just looking on line..I was really surprised this recipe turned out really yummy (was very very easy too).

Me gusta hacer reposteria con la pequena C porque le da la oportunidad de experimentar nuevas texturas,olores y probar nuevos sabores.
Aqui esta la receta para estas galletas de avena, siempre busco preparar nuevas recetas, variar es importante.Fue muy facil, rapido y muy rico.



Mixing the ingredients.
Mezclando ingredientes.



Why use a spoon if we can use our hands...right?
Para que usar una cuchara si podemos usar las manos...verdad?


Mommy...look my hands...are dirty!!cool..
Mami mira mis manos..estan sucias!!GENIAL


Here I gave her a spoon to show her another way we can mix our ingredients.
Le di una cuchara para mostrarle que tambien podemos usar otro medio para la mezcla.



Ready to go in the oven..
Al horno..



I need some water...trying these ingredients made me thirsty..
Necesito beber agua...de tanto probar los ingredientes me dio sed.




yummy the cookies are ready!!
mmmmm...las galletas estan listas!!



For making it funner I put some vanilla frosting and dried fruit..
Para que la presentacion sea mas mona use un poquito de glaseado de vainilla y frutas secas.


Perfect snack for a cloudy afternoon. This beautiful blanket was made by auntie Cara...Thank you Cara!! We love you.
Un bocadillo perfecto para una tarde nublada..Esta linda manta la hizo la tia Cara, gracias!!Te queremos.




With a glass of milk...we are ready to enjoy the birds singing in our backyard.

Beautiful Art

It is summer, we try to spend most of the time outside making crafts,doing yoga,painting, playing with water ballons,doing gardening,looking for birds,leafs,insects,sticks,etc. Today We did some painting!

Es verano y tratamos de pasar mucho tiempo afuera, hacemos yoga, hacemos manualodades, hacemos jardineria,jugando con agua..y buscando por vida natural como insectos y aves.
Hoy dia pintamos!

You will need : paint,balls (maybe marbles,golf balls,any kind of balls)paper, empty box and string.

Para este proyecto se necesita: pintura,pelotas,caja vacia e hileras.

Put the balls on the paint

Coloca las pelotas en la pintura

Then put the balls inside the paper in the empty box.

Coloca el papel en la caja y luego las pelotas dentro de la caja.

Shake..shake..shake

Sacude la caja..

Little "C" admiring her work.

Now for the final detail you can use a string to give another touch..I told C "the string is jumping..up and down..up and down)

Para el retoque final puedes usar la hilera, la pones en el plato de pintura y luego la llevas a la caja y la haces saltar, le dije a la pequena C "la hilera esta saltando arriba..abajo..arriba..abajo..)
It is such a beautiful picture made with simple stuff and lots of fun.

Es un cuadro muy bonito hecho con cosas simples pero sobre todo muchas ganas de divertirse.
