Baking Day

Silus had a baking and crafting day at school last week. We got started about 9 and began in the kitchen with pre-made Sugar Cookie dough.

Each child had a mat, rolling pin, cookie cutters, and decorations. Our table made more cookies than we could have ever eaten.

Next we had a craft time in the class room where we made a paper snowman. I love being able to work with the kids and see Silus with his classmates.

Opened House

Strange, but true: Naomi had school on a Saturday. She did get to sleep in a little bit, but had to be there at 8:30. Her school had an opened house, or "a day with an opened door". There were all kinds of activities going on in the school. She took the little boys on a little tour and did a few stations with them. There was freshly made apple juice, a stand of things the kids had made for sale and honey that the bees at the school made. Hard to believe that next year Eyan will be there too.

School Lunch

Silus is a very picky eater. He doesn't like potatoes, onions, garlic, anything with sauce, and the list goes on and on and on. At school there is a hot lunch, and I decided to have a date with Silus and see if he could be persuaded to eat there. He ate the salad, and got a plate of Lasagna, and that's as far as we made it. I don't think he'll try it again. But, that's OK I don't mind packing a Peanut butter sandwich everyday.
