Day 2

So today was bit lack luster as I have pinched or seriously pulled somehing in my back causing numbness in my face fingers and toes. I know sounds exciting right? But, since mommies don't get days off I took some advil and on with the day. To finish our A is for apple week, today we made applesauce. I have to say it was the BEST I have ever had! I will never buy it again. We used the papmpered chef apple peeler corer slicer I have. If you work with kids or just love apple crisp then this is the best tool ever invented. Kids love to use it. Maddie enjoyed cutting the apples into pieces the best. She had 3 helpings so I know its good.

We also read the book 10 apples up on top by Dr. Seuss and then practiced our sorting skills by empting the silverware fromt eh dishwasher. yes I know, sounds more like free child labor, but Landon use to do it as his chore and it really is fun for them to sort the different utensils. She loved it. Later Maddie decided it was time to practice her pouring skills so she got out a few cups and poured from one ot the other, lets just say she needs to develop these skills a bit further.lol And last but not least a bit of painting. we practiced what happens when you mix different watercolors together. The look on her face when she made purple was priceless. Today was slower paced but still fun learning at home.
