So we are officially extending rainbow week. The last few days we just haven't had the time to do much at all. I'm hoping things will quiet down next week and we can have more time to finish everything up. I'm also hoping to get my reading area set up! Keep your fingers crossed! I'm going to compile a few days worth of photos today, just because there are so few...
That's it for this week. I asked Em what theme she wanted next and she said Unicorns! Uh oh. I'm not sure I can find enough material for that. We will see!

| Working at the rainbow table |
 |
| We are coloring noodles |
 |
| Drying out. These are for a project that we have yet to do. |
 |
| We did a counting game with our rainbow bears. You roll the dice and add that number of bears in colored bowl. It's also color matching but Em needs no help with that. |
 |
| Keira was very interested in the game too. When we were done Em asked to play another counting game |
 |
| So I brought out our rainbow abacus. Same idea with the dice but using the beads. Every time we counted out a new color of beads, she pushed them over to the left. Then we would just keep adding beads to the left as we rolled the dice. She wanted to count every bead we used, so instead of just adding the previous set of beads to the new set, she started counting from the very first bead. Each time. Eventually she got all the way up to 54. Then we stopped. She was really into this game. And keeps asking to do more counting games. Now I'm scouring pinterest for more ideas. I can't keep up with her! |

| Playing with the rainbow stacker |
 |
| The lighting is bad, but I took this picture because at the time they were all playing so nicely together. Of course I come along with the camera and mess it all up. :) |
 |
| Eating cheese and being cute |
 |
| It's so nice when they play on their own without fighting. |
 |
| I brought out the shape sorter for her to try. She got the circle but the other shapes were too hard for her. |
 |
| Just because. lol! Leaving Happy Hollow and eating not only her Popsicle but Emily's too. |
 |
Another counting game, using our counting cubes. This is after Happy Hollow which is why her face painted |
 |
| We didn't do a whole lot of counting before it turned into a look what I can make game. |
 |
| Building towers. It was pretty neat watching her come up with new designs, and realizing what the shapes resembled. Like letters. One creation was a magnifying glass, but look at it another way and it's the letter P, Yet also B and D, and so on. |
