thanksgiving 2010!


 for our thanksgiving lunch we made cranberries, cornbread muffins, and carrot & yam soup. i tried to have the kids do as much of the prep work as possible and they did great!



it was a success!



 even mia liked it!

corn off the cob...


we brought back some lovely cobs of corn from choice and had fun taking off the individual kernels. it  was an awesome sensory activity plus great for their little hands!







later we turned our kernels into a science experiment by comparing how store bought kernels and our kernels popped. after a few tries we concluded that the store bought kernels popped much better! we made sweet (honey and cinnamon) and spicy popcorn (cayenne pepper and hot sauce). both were delicious!

stone soup!

we had a fun time shopping at our pretend grocery store.  we talked about healthy foods, what they are and why it's important to eat healthy. afterwards we read stone soup and then made our own!
