We did some reading and some writing and even some math in our pajamas today. We wrote about Legos and legs and lions and lips and lambs. We read books about trains and Biscuit and alphabets. We added zero to just about everything. Then we went through our usual routines of getting teeth brushed, using the potty, and getting dressed. By that time it was 8:00!! Seriously, I love having the basics done quickly and then being able to move on with whatever we want to do for the rest of the day!
Again, we are fortunate enough to have our Spanish and Art Instructor right down the street. Vanessa did not disappoint us today! We glued a yellow luna to a black piece of paper and then used glitter to make stars. Ford and Rachel were able to tell Vanessa the letters in luna and why it works this week for L week. Ruby and Kingston did their thing and loved the glitter part (who doesn't?!?!). I had the bright idea yesterday to make lemonade for L week so we had gone and borrowed a juicer from Baba and brought lemons. All of the kids had turns smooshing the lemons and rolling the lemons and then after I cut them, they each got to take a turn squeezing the juice out with the juicer. Vanessa filled a pitcher with ice, we threw in the lemon juice, added some water, and then a cup or so of sugar. We stirred it up and realized it was still a little sour, so we added some more sugar. It was terrific! Lunas and Lemonade!! After we drank most of the lemonade, Vanessa added more water and tried to squeeze some more juice out of the lemons and for lunch we had what we'll call lemon-flavored water. The kids loved it. We had a great time playing and hanging out with our buddies.
While everyone naps, I'm trying to get some more reading done and we are all looking forward to a fun evening with our friends, Amanda and Webb!!
