cardboard boxes and mini pizzas






Today I S and G came for the whole day. It is amazing how well 4 kids can entertain each other. I think it works well because S and AR are close in age and so are AP and G. They spent most of the morning playing with My Little Pony Ponyville ponies. When they were done with that they moved on to playing with the 2 boxes we have from our new toilet in our upstairs bathroom. The 2 older girls went inside the bigger of the 2 boxes and could be heard giggling a lot at little girl stuff:0) The younger 2 were running around "getting excercise" as AR put it. The dragged the smaller box into their path and made their own obstacle course playing for about 20 minutes and laughing the entire time. When they started to get a little fussy with each other I had them all take a turn washing their hands. I had grated cheese, put sauce into small bowls, and placed Plibury biscuits onto a cookie sheet 3 for each child. They spread out the biscuit and put the sause on and then some cheese. I hleped some. S needed the most help being the youngest. Then I placed them into the oven. They now have made lunch for themselves and were entertained for about 15 mintues. While they were waiting for the pizzas to finish they went back to playing nicely since they had a little break. Couldn't get any better then this:0)

Happy Brithday Dr. Seuss






In Honor of a person I think was a great author we will be having a birthday party today. We will be reading 3 of Dr. Seuss's books The Cat in the Hat, Green Eggs and Ham, and The Foot Book. We will be coloring our feet with washable makers after reading The Foot Book. We will try to balance a cup and then a book on our heads after reading The Cat in the Hat. We also will have cup cakes int he theme of the cat in the hat. We may even try on the Cat in the Hat suit (if I can find it), and paint whiskers and a black nose. Finally we will color a picture of the Cat in the Hat with Thing 1 and Thing 2. Have a party if you have time, if not try to find time to read a book of any kind to the little on in your life. It is a wonderful thing to do.
