Friday!

We went to the park and met new friends! It was sunny and warm and I forgot my phone in the car. Not used to having a car during the day!!!

Car wash!


Olive and Cedric fell asleep...Ira pretended to be scared...


Then we went to the craft store!!!!!

Faerie house and centaur!


Stickers to add to their collection!


Emers has a new "thing". To be super silly he flops to the ground and laughs and rolls around.








Water guns!

















Heart shaped sidewalk chalk!





Painting....





Snacking...


Purple yogurt! Ira always complains that she can't have colored sugar sweetened yogurt. I bought some food dyes that are made from food an spices and we sweetened our Greek yogurt with honey.

This girl was in heaven. I don't know why I didn't think of that sooner!





Ira has also been learning to read. So now liv is wanting to.... Liv and I worked on these words...


And ira read me this book! It's so cool to have my child read ME books!


She worked 5 pages in "explode the code".


I was holding off on teaching her to read because I am a waldorf leaning person. I believe academics should wait until the child is ready. Ira started getting her 6 year molars and then lost her front teeth and them BOOM- she demands to be taught to read. So I guess she I ready!

Regardless. It's cool. Watching it all click is fun.

Science Wednesday's

It started out a silly day... The unicorn club awarded some stickers for extra fancy dancing...


Puzzles....





Silly faces...








Then we watched beakmans world about water molecules... Which led us to the Internet.... Which led us to this awesome chemistry for kids site...














So we made hot cocoa and molecules...





Then we did an experiment.

Water molecules on the move...


Hot molecules move faster- so they mix the dye....


After 5 minutes...


Ira had me pull up a ton of experiments, so stay tuned!
