Cows!

We've been learning about farm animals and specifically cows this unit.  Today, we made butter..... I will probably not EVER be doing that again!  Too much work!  The boys pooped out after about 30 seconds and so I ended up shaking the jar for about 20 minutes.  Then we had a dairy party for lunch which consisted of cheese cubes, strawberry yogurt, biscuits with the fresh butter we made, and chocolate milk. 

 I know this has nothing to do with cows but I apparently took this last week when Charlie was on the letter L and forgot to post it, oops.

 Shaking our butter..

 Voila!

 Party



Valentine's Day

We made chocolate covered pretzels for Jesse for Valentine's Day.  Johnny would only help with the sprinkles because he doesn't like getting his hands all dirty.  Charlie on the other hand, doesn't mind his hand being covered in chocolate one bit!

Improv

Today, Charlie's cutting practice turned into he and Johnny wanting to use the scrap paper to make jack-o-lanterns and then that turned into them wanting to make the scrap paper from that project into roofs for some houses.  You gotta love improv craft time :-)

 Charlie's art projects are always a little on the "creative" side :-)  You gotta love a kid who can think outside the box!  (He did not get that from me.) 

 A very proper Jack-o-lantern.

I love my boys!
