We are studying "oceans" right now, and the kids are making an ocean scene on our un-decorated wall. Here they are glue-ing cheerios to starfish (Maya thought the glue was a fun dip for her cheerios snack until I confiscated it).

Here is a picture Vivi made for my dad for Father's Day. It is Nala and Simba and Zazu on Pride Rock, with a giraffe, cheetah, elephant and zebra watching. (the black figure is the elephant). She is so good at drawing- everytime she impresses me more!

All in all it was great first week! We are unpacked (yeah, once I found out cockroaches like the glue in boxes, I unpacked in a day and threw all boxes away), settled in, already have books checked out from the library, food in the fridge, clothes in the dressers, and toys strewn around.
