Friday Favorites

Since I was out of town last week (and didn’t manage to prepare a post prior to my departure), this week’s Friday Favorites will be a combination of my favorite posts from last week and this week.

Arts & Crafts:

In case you haven’t noticed by now, I’m a huge fan of No Time for Flash Cards. It is such a great source for craft ideas and preschool activities!

Due to our being out of town quite a bit lately, we haven’t gotten any new library books. We’ll be resuming our weekly library trip next week. This break has given us an opportunity to spend more time reading our current books, which is great for the kids. They have a really hard time returning books to the library. E often bursts into tears when I tell her that we must return a book. I have to give them a few days notice, so we can do a lot of “extra reading” of the books that are about to go. Even then, she is very sad about it. Next week, I’ll be back to sharing our library favorites again!

Have a great weekend!
