The Letter X

X is for xylophone and X-ray and X marks the spot! We can hardly believe we are so close to the end of the alphabet.

This week, I made alphabet soup for lunch one day. Gene even came home from work to join us!

The boys had so much fun finding letters in their soup.Here's the letter of the week!We also turned our capital X into a xylophone.

After he finished it, he used it as a Jolly Roger flag (of course) and ran around the house waving it wildly.

The last X activity was a little scavenger hunt for the boys to do after quiet time. They were hunting for their snack, so I put the X to mark the spot on the box of Pirate's Booty in the pantry.
