What to Order?


Photo-A-Day #3350

Eva worked really hard on making a menu and did all the spelling herself. She cracks me up. Why she spelled water correctly backwards is beyond me. She didn’t even ask Allison or I to help spell anything. When she asks for help we have her sound it out and figure out the spelling and correct he when needed. Still, this is one special menu. Then she set up the table in the living room as her restaurant. I of course chose the build a burger option.

Bugs Watch Out!


Photo-A-Day #3349

Today after school Eva and Andrew and I played some of the games from the Cooper & Kid Cooper Kit. The kit is bug themed and came with a bunch of little plastic bugs and a couple of fly swatters. We played a game where I called out the name of the bug and Eva and Andrew would each try and swat it. Eva tried to make it more fair for Andrew but there is only so much you can do when playing with a 6 1/2 year old and a 4 1/2 year old.

We also cut up the box that the Cooper & Kid cooper Kit came in and put together some other bugs. Eva did the coloring of the box the other day and it just needed to be cut apart. Cutting cardboard is not fun.

We were doing this because I had to complete a post for the Cooper and Kid blog, Catch, where I reviewed the Cooper Kit. That post will go up tomorrow and I’ll link to it. Here is the link – http://cooperandkid.com/catch/play/cooper-kit-review-good-bad-bugly/
