Inspired by the grapes still ripening in the garden, Josie suggested we make grape juice this week - with our FEET!! We have an old Richard Scarry book called "Peasant Pig", and in it they stomp grapes to make juice, so I'm pretty sure that was her inspiration :0) We also made our own pizza crust & pizza!
 |
| watching the yeast grow |
 |
| Ben & Gigi mixing it up! |
 |
| While the dough was rising we had circle time - then it was time to beat the dough & roll it out! |
 |
| Gigi has done this before I think :0) |
 |
| Isaac taking his turn |
 |
| Ezra really loved rolling out the dough! |
 |
| I wonder how we had enough ingredients?? They ate as much as they put on there! These were the last of the green peppers from out garden, yum - somehow I didn't get pictures of them cutting them up but they did it themselves. |
 |
| Miss Abbie took the pizza down to the oven while we were outside, and by the time we came in it was done! |
 |
| I love our tablecloth and real dishes - and all those happy smiles! So proud of their work cooking! |
 |
| Josie also wanted to celebrate her 1/2 birthday, and she wanted rice krispie treats so Ella could eat them :0) We broke a candle in 1/2 for the 1/2 part & sang "Happy Half Birthday to you!". If you would also like to do this for your child at playschool, just let me know! I am working on a birthday ring to hold the candles... |
 |
| picking the grapes off the stems |
 |
| eating them as we go ;0) |
 |
| Rachel smashing! |
 |
| Sorry I cut off your head Gigi! |
 |
| Isaac washing his feet - I helped, too & we talked about Jesus washing the disciples feet. It was a great opportunity to bring up a wonderful lesson :0) |
 |
| "Ewwww!" was the most common reaction - but they loved it! |
 |
| Ben doesn't mind getting messy ;0) |
 |
| Welcome back, Mandolin! She watched a long time before she finally decide to try it - but I think she liked it :0) |
 |
| Yep, I even got into the act! |
 |
| We even had time to play! Rachel is using the playdough to make more hedgehogs & other animals using acorns & pine needles |
 |
| Nice animal face! |
 |
| Isaac is so affectionate |
 |
| I think that's a peach pit hedgehog! |
 |
| Working on our mittens |
 |
| Miss Abbie helping Silas & Isaac get started on their mittens (an on-going project!) |
 |
| Mud kitchen is fully up & functioning! |
 |
| Silas is SO ready for hunting season! |
 |
| I found this handy cooler (someone in our neighborhood was going to throw it out!) & it makes a great storage place for our mud kitchen utensils |
 |
| Ben the bee, hunting w/ Silas (no, I don't think Ezra is the deer!) |
Bring your lunch this week! See you all soon!
Miss Shannon
