It's Daytime, On a Wednesday and There Is a Beautiful Blue Sky

We received something wonderful in the mail today. After seeing this post on Melissa's blog I mentioned if she'd ever like to swap.... Well, that led to much brainstorming between the two of us and these fantastic gnomes! She sent me a full set of Day of the Week Gnomes and five different weather gnomes, including one day and one night gnome. So I put up this little shelf and pulled them all out for the girls to see.

I don't have these yet, I need to figure out which ones I want for the girls. My thought is to put up two more little shelves for the girls and each day let them pick which chores they'd like to be responsible for and put them on their own shelf.

If you'd like to get your own gnomes Melissa has them in her shop here.

Actually, it started out as a grey and rainy day. Which I was expecting, but I'm glad it changed it's mind.

P.S. Don't forget to enter to win a sweet cap for a girl or boy!

I'm so glad they made it to you! The sun has finally come out here and I'm hoping to be able to take pictures of my three new sets of weather gnomes! It's been all gnome all the time around here. (:
These little gnomes are wonderful! What a great idea! Love this idea for teaching calender and weather- so cute!! ~April
They are so great!
I love this idea ( and apparently so does Kaiya becuase she immediately pointed at the picture and said we need to make those!).

I think chores would be great...such a perfect visual.

This is what I'm hoping. As it is my girls bicker over who's turn it is whenever I ask them to do the least little thing.

These are lovely! Well done Melissa.
Oh goodness, lovely idea!!!
Oh my goodness !!! The gnomes are so so adorable. What a lovely idea. I am thinking about purchasing the 'weather gnomes' for Elodie when she is older to pick out one each day based upon what the weather is outside. How NEAT !!!! What a fun swap !!!!

You definitely should! My girls just love pulling them out of their basket and lining up the ones for each day.
