Painting with Bubble Wrap

Some good things have been happening around here.  

1) I received some packages in the mail.  

2)  The packages were wrapped in really nice paper and bubble wrap (in small, medium, and large bubbles!).    

Needless to say, I was elated.  So we did a mom blog/preschool favorite - bubble wrap painting. 

Taping the bubble wrap to the table is a good way to start.  

Perhaps a little hesitant at first.

 And then she dives right in.  I tried it as well.  It feels amazing.

Painting with Abby always turns into mixing mixing mixing.  It makes her so happy.  

 Making the prints.

Trying it with her feet.

I love the ant and grasshopper tangled in the web!

let me see your tootsie roll...

The bait:

Lovely to see you again, bunny.  

Oh no, there goes bunny.  

Reach for it.  

Hello toes.  

Back to bunny.  

Sweet Victory.  

Almost.  

A little help from the mama.

lemonade without the lemons

At roughly 10:30 this morning, Abby announced it was time to make lemonade.

Why not?  

I had a few cut up limes and oranges lying around in the fridge that needed used up and that seemed to satisfy her need.   Although we were not using lemons, could we still make lemonade?

Let's find out.  

Pick a fruit.  Orange or lime.  

 Squeeeze.

Add sugar to taste.  The only rule was that Abby had to use the baby spoon to scoop the sugar.  I.E. You may not dump the entire bowl of sugar in at once.

 Pour back and forth between two cups.

 Squeeze some more.

Enjoying the fruit of her labor.  

Is it lemonade, Abby?

No.  I think we should add cinnamon.  Then it will be lemonade.

Let's give it a try.

I will spare you the pictures of adding cinnamon, hot chocolate mix, and sprinkles because well, it was gag worthy material.

Clean up time.

And that is how we make lemonade without the lemons.
