Staying Busy Around The House (random pictures!)

We did a fun treat/craft last week for preschool coop. Chloe and Caleb had a lot of fun helping. They measured out the ingredients for the treat bags and painted the butterflies.

They both wanted to sit on the same chair of course.

Proud of their finished butterfly treats.

The colorful treats.
Today we ate banana bread. This is Caleb's reaction to my instruction to "Eat the banana bread over your plate." Cute.

This new toy of Cameron's kept all three of the kids entertained for an entire morning!

A Tea party & A Treasure Hunt

I love coming up with fun activities for our letter of the week. This past week was our "T" week so we had a teddy bear tea party and a meal treasure hunt (I read about this in Family Fun magazine and knew it would be a hit with the kids!)


 Even Cameron had some pretend tea

Cameron wanted to eat everything!


Our treasure hunt started with raw veggies and dip in the bathroom following the clue: Go to the place where Mommy and Daddy shampoo. It was a cozy (that's a nice way to put it) place to start the meal.
The second clue brought us to our room for oven fries and ketchup (a poor choice I realized after it was too late!) 
The next clue took us to "where puppy sleeps" for chicken and ranch for dipping (why do finger foods all need dip??)
Asparagus was the next treasure (doesn't Chloe look thrilled?!?)  found "where T things abound...trains, tracks and Thomas"
We're almost done! Grapes hidden in the washing machine were a fun find!
Our final clue brought us to dessert after the kids were instructed to "Find the place to watch and play basketball." They found Fun Dip hidden near the basketball hoop.   
The meal took quite awhile as Kyle read a bible story at every stop while I hid and prepared the next course but it was a blast!  Try it out but beware of ketchup!!
