W is for Window

I had the letter W for preschool last month. We made windows by cutting out pieces of different colored tissue paper and gluing them onto the back of black paper frames -very pretty.

We made wheat flour (our wheat grinder is very loud, as you can see).

And made whole wheat waffles. They were a big hit.

Then we went on a walk. It was a hot day, and they had to rest in the shade every chance they got.

We found a cute yard with old antique wheels and farm equipment, perfect for pictures.

Brennan was a little nervous, since there were bees buzzing all around the bushes on either side of him.


Notice we were missing Brennen W. His family was on vacation in San Diego that week.

Thursday was wet and chilly, a complete change from our hot walk on Tuesday. For snack I told them, in all seriousness, that we were going outside to dig for worms. They thought I was crazy.

Eric was especially concerned. He kept saying, "They're just gummy worms, right? We're not going to eat real worms, right? I can't even eat gummy worms if they've been in the dirt." It's like he knew I must be kidding, but he had to be sure.

After we finally found a worm we went inside, where they found bowls of chocolate pudding with gummy worms at the bottom and Oreo crumbs on top. Brennan & Levi dug right in, but the other kids were still very cautious. They had to wait until someone else ate it before they'd even touch it.

The girls were very concerned about the mess Levi was making.. "Look at your baby! You need to clean him!"

Yum!
