Mystery Ingredient

I decided to have an inside day full of activities:

Word Flash Cards

Chaplin arranged the cards correctly and then we sang our word song:
Lori: The J says
Chaplin: j (correctly sounds it out)
Lori: the E says
Chaplin: e (correctly sounds it out)
Lori: the T says
Chaplin: t (correctly sounds it out)
Chaplin and Lori: and the word is JET
Chaplin: BUT look mom what happens to our word if we take away the letter t.
i think he is starting to understand letter arrangements make words! cool.

Big Cook Little Cook make chicken noodle soup.

Big Cook earlier hid two items of the same colour under a cloth...
• Put spaghetti into zip-lock bag and ask Little cook to break it into small pieces.
• Help Little cook snip chicken into chunks.
Time to reveal the mystery ingredient.
Big Cook "what is orange and crunchy"
Little Cook: "an orange. no... an egg. i give up"
Big cook lifts up one corner of the cloth and shows him an orange wallet.
Little Cook: "NO we can't cook with a wallet! is the mystery item cheese."
Big Cook: no it's crunchy." lift the cloth and show Little cook a CARROT
Help Little cook peel one carrot
While Big cook cuts carrot, Little cook rips apart 2 mushrooms
Little cook: add ingredients into 4 cups of chicken stock and stir.
Little Cook: add salt and pepper and a 1/4 cup of apple juice - for yummy flavour.
Big Cook: put on stove top and cook for 10-15 mintues.

time to clean while soup is cooking:

Wash windows

Vacuum... and now it's time for some soup.


One bowl for Chaplin, one bowl for Lori and one bowl in the fridge for Adam.
Chaplin loved his soup and ate the full bowl.

Arts & Crafts

Next was play-dough then putting all the stickers into the stick story book that Leif sent him.
