So this morning I laid in bet waiting for my new babe to wake, and enjoying the fact that my children are so wonderful that they wake themselves and get going for the day. I thought about the day a head of me and . . . . hmmm, I can't think of anything I need to do today, how wonderful is that. So I laid a little longer, BIG MISTAKE.
When I came strolled out of my room, my overly responsible 13 year old Ellie reminded my my ever so clumsy 5 year old that he had preschool today. Our eyes met as she said it and - DANG! I have preschool today.
Forget the shower, and the breakfast, find a craft, activity, and a lesson. THANK YOU Pinterest!
In moments I had Letters drawn on the driveway (Thank you Ellie), popcorn popped, (thank you Ellie) candles for melting crayons, and salt and glue for the letter Z. Feew! Right in time.
I thought to take pictures but. . . things were a little hectic and there was a very hungry baby fussing in the background so. . . no picture documentation. Sad. Cuz it was fun.
Letters A-Z in a circle on the drive way.
Crawl to the letter C
Hop to H
Zoom to Z
Wiggle to W
You get the idea. They had fun.
Then- It's Spring, what happens in Spring? Things grow! Let's sing Popcorn Popping on the Apricot tree. Then we made very cute trees with colored Popcorn.
HINT: If you make kettle corn, a little oil, 1/4 cup-ish of sugar and 1/4 cup of popcorn and you add a drop of food coloring. It ends up a perfect pastel mixture. Pink, yellow, blue, green. Of Course one for each batch. We made a tree stump and glued on the popcorn for flowers and used jelly beans for eggs in a tree nest (beginning of life).
Then the letter Z
Glue on black paper in the shape of a Z with some stripes - poor salt on it and Wallah! Such cute Black and White striped Z. Ok- not that cute, but it impressed the kids.
Now on to Cub Scouts in a couple of hours. . . what to do, what to do?
