Week 1: A
July 9, 2009 | Filed Under 26 week deployment and alphabet adventure!, Photos
We have begun on our 26 week journey through this deployment and the alphabet!
This week is all about the letter “A.”
So far we have:
Eaten apples with our breakfast…
Visited the library to check out a nice stack of books that start with the letter “A”….
We visited the zoo with our friend, Amanda (need a photo of her!!), and saw three grouchy looking alligators…
Had our picture taken with yours truly, Andrea, and our friend Autumn who has a beautiful blue streak in her hair…
We have visited Applebee’s where the kids yelled “Aaaaaaaaaaa!”…
Where we drank some apple juice…
And also ate some awesome, doesn’t start with an “A,” fries…
We have had a fun week so far! There are still four days to go and we plan on filling them up with more fantastic “A” activities and objects. If you have any “A” suggestions, please pass them along!

So cute! It reminds me of Sesame Street. those fries look pretty amazing, appetizing and are resting adjacent to the sauce.
This comment just about killed my computer. never visit thesaurus.com because it literally froze my poor mac.

This is such an awesome idea! A great way to keep you and the kids busy during a deployment. If I think of any Alphabet activities I will post them for you!
Did you make some Ants on a log for a snack yet?

amanda’s last blog post..so much for sleep
apple prints, make a scrapbook of things they cut out of mags with pics for each letter…
This is so funny, because I had the same idea & am starting next week with “A”. I’ll try not to copy your all your great ideas! We’re going to go to our regional Airport & looking at the Airplanes take off & land one day.
We use the fruits of the spirit to describe the behaviors we expect from our kiddos and I was trying to think of ways to incorporate an attitude/behavior into each week too. Well there it is, maybe we’ll talk about our Attitude
What did you make our “A” out of- at first I thought it was a pair of jeans? We recently got a leapfrog letter factory video out of the library and Isaac could recognize all the letter & knew their phonetic sound after watching it a few times.

Andrea, I just wanted to tell you what an amazing idea this is. I hope you know that I’m writing this idea down and stealing it when I have children of my own.
