Blue

We have been working on the color blue this week. Everything we do has been centered around  the color blue. 

Blue watered baths, filled with only blue toys...





Big blue blocks and an even bigger blue book...





Color matching with blue items...



Blue sorting sticks...



Coloring with blue crayons...



Even using her blue thumb splints...



Blue pom-pom art on a big blue letter 'B'...


Sorting blue colored pets from different families...



Vada has even painted with homemade blue bath paint.






Our week has consisted of everything blue. There are a few blue activities left to do and then we will move on to the color red. Have you done colored focused activities? What have I missed? Were doing blue balloons and frozen blue berries but then I am all our of ideas for her age. I would love suggestions.

Blowing Hot Air

Our city does this Hot Air Balloon Festival every year. This year, it was just V and I but we went and had a great time. She is such good company!

I packed a picnic dinner and we dined in the field as the many balloons began to inflate and float away. There's not a whole lot to say about this event. Its free to go to which is nice. It was fun and relaxing and the balloons themselves are huge but beautiful and there is something almost fairy tale-like about the way they floated away into the sunset. I was happy to have at least one of the loves of life with me to enjoy it.
