Joy(???) School

Livi has been a little antsy around the house so when another mother in the ward suggested we start a joy school I jumped at the chance. Livi would get to be with 3 other little people, learning a little, playing a lot, and I would have 2 hours to myself every Tuesday. Sounded perfect, and the first two weeks were, then it was my turn.

Not only was my mom coming to town that afternoon, but Ethan stayed home from school with breathing issues (turned out to be 1st allergy attack of the season...yay Spring!). I offered to cancel if people didn't want their kids to be around Ethan, but for some strange reason everyone seemed to want the 2 hour break!

The other little girl, Maddi, was out of town, so it was just Livi and the two boys, but still I was very intimidated trying to think how to entertain, educationally, 3 little people. Here is what I came up with: We started out playing with the trains. No, it didn't have to do with our letter "C", but I thought it would be a fun way to start out together, plus I wanted to pull them out again since I don't have anyone here that wants to play with them anymore.

We then talked about "C" and colored pictures of chicks, carrots, and cars.

We then frosted cookies and put sprinkles on them. To burn off the sugar high we went outside to look at clouds, but it ended up turning into a free for all in the backyard,

and you know what, that was more fun anyways!
