It's a beanstalk that goes high up into the clouds. And it has leaves on it.
We can see it in our imaginations, anyway.
We have a picture of Jack that goes on it, but I guess he was outside on a phone call when I took this photo. (J is for Jack. J is our theme this week).
Also, the kids were busy making birthday cookies for a very special mom.
The little neighbors mixed up the powdered sugar, meringue powder, and water. Then we added some coloring. The finished products were loaded with sprinkles.
Yet, no one had one smidge of a taste. Not even a teeny lick.
Funny joke!
We also hung strips of crepe paper near the front door so the birthday mom would have to walk through her special "curtain."
They had so much fun while thinking of the birthday girl. And to imagine her having to walk through that crepe paper!! Oh, the anticipation...and the giggles!!
Thinking of other people provides awareness and can be fun, too. I will be adding service-type projects to our themes in the near future. This is just as important as ABCs and 123s.
Have a lovely day.
This project is from last week.
Our color of the week was blue, so we made BLUE happy hippos. I've seen this idea around the internet, but ours is a little different.
We didn't endow our hippos with behinds. I thought that even a little booty would distract from the letter H shape.
She still seems happy, though, with her modest hippo attributes.
I checked out Deceptively Delicious at the library. The author is Jerry Seinfeld's wife, Jessica. Since some of the little neighbors are protesting veggies, I thought sneaking the healthy stuff into foods might be the solution.
This might be a great thing for our family, too. If I puree the offending foods and mix them into something common, no one has anything to reject. Perhaps I will be able to feel certain that my hubby and kids aren't missing anything vital.
I'm late to the party. I know. I know. This book has been out for a while. We'll see how it goes.
Hope you're having a lovely day!
