Paint your wagon!




Grandma Leslie brought the girls a fun file folder game on Thursday called "paint your wagon". It is a color matching game. Morgan is not sure how to match up the colors, but Jaden doesn't mind showing her how ;) Grandma said that she brought the game so that they could celebrate Pioneer Day which is on July 24th (for those of you who are not from Utah, or are not Mormons, here is the info on that: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pioneer_Day_(Utah) I know that there are some groups of people (The groups that I have heard about are young people) that follow the trail that the pioneers took- they pull handcarts and everything... for miles!!! I'm sure it makes you appreciate what you have, after you have been on a trek like that- But, I think I am appreciative without having to go out in that heat and pull a cart (no offense meant for anyone else who plans to do it).

Fun! I have several file folder games I've made but haven't pulled them out for James just yet. I have the Preschool Carson Dellosa file folder game book and just make copies. It has matching, colors, rhyming, numbers, opposites, etc...and I love Carson Dellosa's illustrations.
