We packed today full of fun- a trip to the farmers market, playing outside, music class, making pasta, and playing dress up. This afternoon, the kids made their own pasta from scratch, mixing it, kneading it, rolling it through the pasta machine and enjoying eating it at snack time.
We celebrated Myles birthday today. The girls made birthday cards before they left for school and Tate (kindergartner) made one during nap time. I was helping spell it out for Tate and he said "wow, there are a lot of "Y's" in Happy Birthday Myles!" I thought it was a funny observation. The kids loved having cupcakes with Myles and singing to him. Birthday boy's little sister ate 1 whole cupcake and two mini banana muffins- I think she is going through a growth spurt!
We also were talking about getting older and growing bigger. The kids started comparing who was bigger. So we put up a height chart and figured out who was the tallest. It is amazing how close most of them are in height for varying from 5 years old to 3 years old.
The kids also had fun playing dress up. The boys were pirates and the girls princesses, of course.
