I saw this idea for an "Alphabet Summer" (check it out here and here) on this woman's blog and I thought that it was such a wonderful idea that I would pass it on. I really love how it kind of "forces" you to come up with a little activity to do each day, big or small. I think that this would be a good thing for me because sometimes I find myself scraping the bottom of the barrel for ways to keep Asher occupied and entertained. I think that I am going to start planning some alphabet activities for him a few times a week-- it will give me something to look forward to, a reason to invite other friends with kids over, a fun way for Asher to learn the alphabet, and a way to practice teaching my almost 2 year old-- which believe it or not I've found to be kind of a challenge. For example, last night during our family night Asher was looking at a picture of Jesus and was REALLY concerned about the "owwees" that He had in his hands and his feet-- needless to say it stretched ALL my teaching capabilities to try to explain the atonement to a 18 month old! So, I'll be glad to get all the teaching practice that I can get!

U would be good for rainy days: umbrella. Margaret LOVES being under the umbrella.
G- I think of grass. I realized the other day that Margaret doesn't get enough time being barefoot in the grass.

Gardening
Legos
Quarters (Go to like ChuckECheese or somewhere like that and let him play on all the toys)
Ya, that's all I can think of. Those last letters are TRICKY!
Oh ya, this is a very cute idea. I think I might try it. It's hard with a new baby though, we'll see how well it all works out.
Great idea. Thanks for sharing.
