It IS New Year's Eve after all.

Once in a while, even on a week day, we take it extra slow, and what better activity to do than Art? :)

I can't remember why I don't have a picture of the end product, but you were super creative, as usual :)

G4 W20 Arty Sunday

For this week's Arty Sunday, we drew Adorable Foxes in the Falling Snow :)

Adventure Forward 2 - The Play Doh Edition

You have been playing Roblox for a while now, and one of your favorite games on there is Adventure Forward 2.

You really like some of the characters on there, and have decided to embark on a quest to reproduce the NPCs from that game out of Play Doh.

Puzzles with Cindy at the Library

Whenever Cindy comes to the library with us, the two of you like to get some of the games that they have, and start playing.

Of late, however, they have put away their games such as Connect 4, Scrabble and whatnot, because apparently, the pieces have been going missing from their boxes.

Weh.

So, one day, Cindy brought a jigsaw puzzle to the library, and the two of you had a blast trying to put it together.

We got part of it done, and had to put it away for another day, seeing how we had to get going to the next destination... LUNCH!

Game Night

We broke out the Multi-Board-Game set you received for Christmas, and played those we knew how to :)

It was a lot of fun, but the pieces were a bit too small, and kept rolling out of their holes. 

On the other hand, we there were 10 games to choose from, and we have decided that we would need to learn Backgammon from now on!

G4 W19 Game Night

We played 3 different card games today.

First there was Go Fish,

 then there was Memory,

and Finally, SNAP had you giggling frantically :)

Thank you, Cindy!

Christmas present from Cindy :)

Lunch with Cindy and Uncle Lin

I have to figure out what I've been doing that is causing these pastel borders on my photos. 

Ugh.

 Anyway, we have been having lunch with Cindy and Uncle Lin for a few weeks now,

 and we are glad for any extra time we get to spend with her :)

It's Bot Day

Library Books This Week

Olaf and Friends!

You've told me a few times what those little friends of Olaf are called, but for the life of me, I can't seem to dig up that piece of information from my addled brain.

We borrowed a book on how to make crafts based on Disney Characters, and you were smitten with the one on Olaf and his little pals.

 Of course, that mean we set off to get a bag of rice and some cotton balls the next time we were at Walmart, and Daddy donated an old sock that he didn't use anymore.

Ta Da! 

 I helped a little here and there, but you basically did it by yourself, for the most part :)

Christmas Cookies Pt 2

You couldn't wait to get to work on The Cookies the next morning.

 I looked up a recipe for Easy Royal Icing, and made some in Festive Colors.

 Just look at that intense concentration.

I showed you how to hold the "Piping Bag" properly, and before long, you were off and running.

 We experimented with a few different techniques..

 and ended up with some pretty neat looking cookies!

G4 W18 Baking Christmas Cookies Pt 1

I cheated and used a pre-done pack of Peanut Butter Cookie Dough for our cookies..

G4 W17 Simple Things

Don't let anyone tell you Cereal Boxes aren't fun.

In fact, there was a time when you would grab different Cereal Boxes while we were out grocery shopping and try to do the puzzles on the back, or just read the interesting little tidbits that were on them :)

Homemade Ginger Bread Houses

except we made them with Graham Crackers.

/rant

I am often unwilling to pay inflated big bucks for Commercial STUFF sometimes.

I believe we can have equally as much fun with things we already have in the house, instead of getting some Designer Kit of PreShaped Baked Goods, Designer Candy and Designer Prepared Royal Icing.

/end rant

We also had a bunch of Candy leftover from Halloween, so it was a good time to get rid of put them to good use.

 You were very immersed in your work of building houses of different sizes and shapes.

I made the icing a little bit too runny at first and did nothing to hold the Graham Crackers together, but once we got the consistency right, there was no stopping us.

 Plus you got to read the Sunday Funnies as you worked on your pieces.

 Pretty soon, we had a few A Frame houses, some Adobes and even An Outhouse!

I am so blessed to have a little boy who is always so Thankful and Grateful, and who Delights in the little things, and doesn't need or want Extravagance to be Joyful and Fulfilled :)

Chicken 2 Ways at Sunrise :)

We had brought along some chicken wings from Walmart for Cindy, and along with the Chicken on a Stick, which she orders each time, you had Chicken 2 ways!
