Preschool Science – Volcano

Dear Sis,

We sculpted our volcano over the weekend using a recycled small juice bottle and air dry clay. Yesterday, we completed our model by painting our homemade rocks and logs and adding some of the plastic trees, rocks, and logs from our dinosaur set.

I’m pretty sure we are going to have to do this each school year for the next 10 years:)

101 Cookies

Dear Sis,

A few months ago William found a huge tub of cookie cutters in a clearance bin for $2.50. He saw it in the basement last night and decided we needed to make cookies. He washed all the cookie cutters while I made Butter Cookie Dough

This morning we rolled out our dough and made a bunch of cut-out cookies! We frosted them and used them as our letter lesson for school that day:)

To get ride of the excessive cookies, we decided to make cookie plates to share with neighbors. We made some brownies and Cherry Cheesecake Cookie Cakes to add to our assortment. William is a social distancing cookie delivery pro:)

Dear Sis,

Today sister and I got some girl time, while Daddy and William had some boy time. We played in the grass and tried swinging for the first time.
