More From Last Week

Never mind that last post, Paige has already sold both her stuffed hearts.  :) 

I'm having a harder time remembering what things I've posted about because of Instagram.  So here are a few more pictures from last week.

Our moon project one day was using flour in a baking pan to make a model of the moon's surface.  The kids had fun making craters with their meteor(a bouncy ball) and letting pink Yoshi walk on the moon.

We first smoothed it out with this fondant smoothing tool I have that looks like an iron.  Paige asked if she could have it and made up a cute game.  She owned a shop where she would sew blankets or iron blankets for people.

She eventually made a sign for her door and moved the shop to her bedroom.

I had to drop blankets off every once in a while for a "smoothing", and fill out a card with my name, number, and what time I wanted to pick them up.  I'd pick my blankets up and she would let me know if I was late, and then get me my blankets, which were always carefully folded in this little tupperware drawer.

Jess and I started weekly dates with each of the kids.  We used to just do them sporadically, but even though we are always with the kids, it has felt like they aren't all getting enough individual attention lately.  So we set alarms on our phones, and every week, we each have a date with each of the three kids separately.  On Monday Neely and I played with her LaLaLoopsie dolls, which she calls "Watahoopies".  Wednesday(I think), Cason and I had a game session-Iron Man Operation, 2 Spider-Man puzzles, and a Tea Party game.  :)


Paige decided for her date on Friday night, she wanted to go with me to the grocery store.  Our date didn't turn out that awesome because she wanted to try and argue some extra purchases out of me, and wouldn't give up for most of the shopping trip.  I think our next date will have to be playing together at home or a breakfast out somewhere.  ;) 

She's been quite artistic this week though, too.
