Happy birthday Stephen!

My hubby turned another year older Friday, Pearl Harbor Day.  He turned 41.  He was born exactly 30 years after Pearl Harbor Day.  So, to celebrate I gave him a gift every day this week. 

Day 1:  I boiled him some cajun peanuts.  He loves them.  I hate those mushy things!! :)

Day 2:  I did one of those heart shaped sayings from Pinterest.

Day 3:  Another Pinterest project:  Places of the heart; I am from Texas and he is from Alabama.  Now he lives in Texas.

Day 5:  My husband loves all things rockets and space shuttles.  After all, he worked on rockets for 3 years!!  He’s an engineer!  He loves to put things together for the fun of it.

So that culminates the 5 days of birthday!!  We both had fun with it.  He looked forward every morning to it.  I think this is a new tradition.

Little Red Hen

Here is a little mini unit on Little Red Hen.  I just love this book!  There are so many good lessons to learn and so many vivid adjectives and verbs too!
