Mommy school!

My friend, Erin, and I started doing "mommy school" twice a week. It's so fun! We each take a day to teach our sons. The kids love it and we both love being able to teach and also getting a little bit of time each week during our babies naps and while the boys are at pre-school to get things done. And it's a good teaching outlet for me! I really miss teaching so I'm glad to have something like that, even if it's small.

The first week we talked about following the rules. As part of that day, the boys made cookies without following the recipe and here's what their "dough" looked like:

After they made their version of chocolate chip cookies (they finally decided that egg shells didn't belong in cookies, but kept in things like pepper and massive amounts of salt), we made real cookies by following the recipe. They turned out flat, but that's because a lot of the flour was flipped outside of the bowl while the boys were stirring together. At least they looked and tasted like cookies, albeit a little on the flat side.

This week, we talked about snowmen and melting. Jack and Tanner made these cute snowmen on skewers and were so proud of themselves for putting it all together with frosting:

And they practiced coloring inside the lines (Tan wasn't really interested in that requirement!), sequencing, tracing numbers and writing their name

Erin has done lots of fun activities with boys as well! Our mommy version of "preschool" is a big hit with the boys! They LOVE it!
