C week

BigBoy was very snuffly the last half of this week and while not really sick, just not himself, we kept things simple...

C is for...

Cutting Carrots
(they were steamed to make them nice and soft)

Carrot Muffins with butterscotch C's


Candy Cane Cocoa

a Cloud experiment
We went to a Professor Weather demonstration a few weeks ago and he gave us the idea for this experiment. You place drops of water on a cotton ball cloud and count how many it takes before it "rains". Ours took 235!

Lots of cloud books, cotton ball cloud making and sticker activities that I didn't photograph but the best surprise C activity of all...

Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs
This was such a fun movie. The ending was a little too intense for BigBoy to enjoy, so we hung out in the back and just listened to the action. BTW... 3pm on a Tuesday... we had the place completely to ourselves! We had picked up this book from the library just for fun when we were getting ready for our Professor Weather demo so when the kids saw a billboard in town advertising the movie, we were excited. I heard from a friend who saw it first that it was decent with very little to no potty humor and wonderful messages about being yourself and saying "I love you", not to mention a little sprinkling of " it's cool to be smart". And Mr. T! Who doesn't love Mr. T? I pity the fool who doesn't love Mr. T! My kids were slightly disturbed by the grown man wearing a diaper who gets eaten by a roasted chicken, but when you see the movie, it all makes sense. Well, kind of.
