Tuesday Fun

Today is normally horseback, but because of the rain we are going tomorrow. Thankfully it is mostly cleared up today because tonight is Arabian Horse Club Meeting. We are making Cajun 15 bean soup and Oatmeal Chocolate Chip cookies to share. The girls just finished helping me make them and they are filling the house with a wonderful smell!!

If cookies werent fun enough on their own it lead to some great chocolate chip math and practice with skip counting.









The math eventually turned to creative play, of course.







And Sasha's mushroom



Which led to full scale fairy living quarters



Just before the cookies I went in the kitchen to do dishes and prepare to make them. The girls had no idea we were gonna be making cookies. I stood there, tired from not sleeping well and said that I was so very tired today.

Eliana and Malia insisted that they do the kitchen chores while I go lay down for a nap. What a considerate thing for them to think of! I wasn't going to argue with them, I left them to it. They even checked on the 15 bean soup and stirred it as needed. Apparently they also tried to clean the floor because I came back in to this sign


It has been a fun day so far. I sense we are going to miss swimming at our current rate... But we are having a great day.

Just in case you didn't know, weeds last forever in water! The other day the girls picked me "green poppies" and they still look as fresh after a few days inside.
