Recent Fun-Sponsored by the Letter "C"

Crowns, Cookies & Caps

Lately I have been trying to do more intentional projects with Moses that are fun, but also educational. The other day we decided to make crowns out of paper and some elastic. We practiced cutting, taping, and coloring the crown. He did such a great job and loved running around the house pretending to be "King Moses"


A friend from work was selling some items as a fundraiser for her kids for sports, so I wanted to support her in this endeavor. I was really excited because they sold sugar cookie dough that looks like play dough. You can make your creations, bake them and eat them. I knew Moses would be really into this because he loves baking. It came in yesterday and I couldn't wait to bring it  home what Moses wanted to make. Much to my dismay, he said "Mickey's Spaceship" (I am not artistic so I was really worried about how this was going to turn out)

Here was our inspiration:


We got to work and I must say, I was really proud of how it turned out...





This activity was also extremely educational because we were able to talk about colors and shapes. As you can tell, we made Mickey's Spaceship, Mickey, and a couple of stars. 

Emery is turning into such a little Daddy's Girl. Whenever he goes somewhere, she walks into every room in the house calling for him to make sure that he is really gone. Jarrell almost always wears a baseball cap so whenever she sees it, and it isn't on his head she gets worried. She picks it up and says dada and tries to find him to give it to him. I snapped a few pictures of her putting it on though and she looks so cute.
