Happy birthday, AJ. We were so excited to meet your sister, Becky! And thanks for sharing your cupcakes with us!
We made some new play dough this week. After mixing the ingredients, Oden thought it was play dough and we could play with it. He quickly changed his mind when he touched it! It was gooey! We decided to try cooking it, and then it really looked like play dough. We had to be a little careful afterwards, it was HOT, but quickly cooled down. We all enjoyed pouring ingredients into the bowl and stirring! This was a great math and science activity for Oden and fine and gross motor activity for the younger ones.
Most mornings, we stayed inside and had extra playtime. (Thanks to AJ's family for driving the school kids to the bus.) When we did get out, we've been having a blast on the snow hill, for some of us, just climbing up is a great experience. Others jump off, or make slides, and we've even added a few snowballs to the top of it! We've also rediscovered the shovels, we've been digging in the big drifts at the end if the lane way, and also scraping paths all along the driveway!
Lots of winters stories for circle this week. The kids really enjoyed my cat and kitten finger puppets for the three kittens had lost their mittens rhyme.
I am looking forward to some warmer winter weather. I want to build some snowmen!!! Hopefully next week....
