S'mores Pockets

I found this easy three ingredient snack on pinterest. It was good!

Classroom Re-org

I spent most of the day yesterday re-organizing our classroom. It's now much easier for me to find everything I'm looking for when I need it and it's easier for the kids to reach their educational toys and exercises.

Back to School

Back to school this week and we are into the fifth week of our curriculum. I know we're going kind of slowly with this, but we were travelling during the first two months of the school year. I actually plan on bringing week six on the road with us. We'll see how that works out while we are traveling. 

This week our theme is lighthouses. Here is Trent shining his beacon in the lighthouse he and I built, and the boys having a snack.

I made jello jigglers. I used my new ninja bread men cookie cutters. Now there are jello ninjas.

I love my new bread pans!

Trent's Favorite Fruit Salad

Here are the boys helping me make a fruit salad from the fruit Santa brought. Each year Santa always puts fruit in the stockings and a box of clementines somewhere near the tree. We needed to use up our bananas and this recipe is perfect for that! It's so easy to just have the kids assemble it, especially since clementines are so easy to peel. 

3-6 Clementines
3-6 Bananas
Plain Yogurt
Half a box of vanilla pudding

Peel and separate clementines. Cut up bananas. Put everything in a large bowl and stir to combine. Refrigerate leftovers. 

My Favorite Christmas Present

My favorite Christmas present wasn't one that I got, but one that the kids got. Santa brought them LeapFrog Tag readers and a set of books. These things have made the bed time routine at night such a breeze. I'm not sure how long that will last, but it is definitely holding their interest for the time being.
