Vote In Wisconsin

As of this week I started combining letters, to be honest i'm kind of bored with planning letter activities and want to move on to celebrating/learning about holidays, weather, seasons, etc.  And I also want to explore Appleton, visit coffee shops, museums, etc. with Emma while we have time. the last letters are tough as well there are not that many exciting things that start with V, W, X, Y, and Z.

On V & W day we just happened to go Vote in Wisconsin, I tried to explain voting to Emma because she was curious, but when I told her the President was like choosing a leader she kept saying she wanted to be the leader (maybe someday). We then Visited the new dunkin donuts by our house because I promised when it opened she could get a donut. We then headed to our friend's house for a Visit with Lydia, Makayla and mommy's friend Liz. In the afternoon we decorated princess Wands I got at the dollar store and leaves and apples.

Lauren started playing for a few minutes in the exersaucer this week, she's a bit small yet so she pretty much sits in the carriage part with a pillow underneath but it builds her core strength and she likes to look around and she also discovered her toes this morning.  Lauren has had a rough week with her very first ear infection, poor babe, good thing we had lots of experience with Emma and knew that a super fussy baby for 4 days straight even without a temp meant something was wrong since she is usually a happy smiley baby with very little tears.
