Day 291

This afternoon, I decided we should do some fun stuff. Since most of our afternoons are filled with running around getting ready for activities. So after school we enjoyed some hot chocolate and marshmallows. Emma, of course Loved this and wanted more. Logan does not have much of a sweet tooth and after he spilled most of the hot chocolate all over his clothes he said all done and left the marshmallows.

Next up was a craft. I found the idea in a Family Fun Magazine. It was too simple to take some paper and draw a tree trunk and then splat the colors of Fall on a paper plate and let the kids sponge paint leaves on the paper. Logan did great and enjoyed this for a whole 2 minutes before he was done. Emma took her time with the alphabet sponges and then painted the entire piece of paper multiple colors, it really looked nice. As I explained to her that you can hardly see where the grass stopped and the fallen leaves began. And she started to laugh and said, "yah".
