Today we weren't home for very long and so did not have much time for school but I wanted the girls to have a short reading time. The problem with the original plan was that they were so excited from their outings that they couldn't sit still. I changed tactics. I got out the cookie cookbook and said they could make cookies if they found a recipe without butter because we were out of butter and they had to get all the ingredients out and mix up the dough and I would help with the baking. Well, it took them about half an hour to find a recipe that had only ingredients we actually had on hand, but they were successful and managed to mix up some pineapple cookies. Then they decided to bake them tomorrow because they wanted to help with dinner! Reading lesson number two. I won't tell them they were learning if you don't.
