CHECK IT OUT: I'm not going to pretend we did a lot of schoolin' today, unless you consider schoolin' majoring in fondant and painting off pinatas.Trying to buy myself some time to decorate and clean (hey, just keepin' it real, here), I fed the kids several worksheets this a.m.
The worksheets were about fractions and telling analog time. After the kids were done, it dawned on me that I should have them check each other's papers. (I don't know why I never thought of that before!) By reviewing each other's work, they have to, in effect, do each other's work as well. Double bonus!
GUTTING IT OUT: In an all out push to finish the Luke-in-a-dead-tauntaun birthday cake, I employed CJ and Annabelle's skills. They helped me mix the right intestine colored fondant and then they rolled it out and we twirled and draped it.
Here's the nearly-finished product of our labors. ...
PAINTERS: We also finished off our pinata. All that was left to do today was the accenting. We had a few hundred squares to paint. I decided to go old school and fetched a couple of potatoes from the basement. I cut a couple down, leaving rectangles protruding. We used those as stamps and got busy.
Apologies for the lack of content. We'll be back at it tomorrow, I promise. ;)
