I'm not sure I like my December Daily scrapbook design, and my system is low on virtual memory and driving me crazy! So in the interest of actually posting daily, I'm just going to do the text and pics =) We had another great day!
December 2nd
Last night when she was driving home with Daddy, Serenity told him for the first time what she wants to be when she grows up. “I’m going to be a teacher like Ms Parent! I’m going to teach the whole school and my class things that are very good.” Awwww.
Today’s activity was to decorate Serenity’s room! I bought a pink tree for her last year, and this year picked up a pink tree skirt and some white and purple felt ornaments to add to her purple snowflakes. She was so thrilled! She looked up at me and said, “I’m a big fan of ornaments!”
She might be out-crafting me! She asked all day to do ornaments, so I pulled out a craft kit that I’d bought for later in the month. Then she wanted more! We read a bunch of library books that I’d requested, and one of them was The Wild Reindeer by Jan Brett. So we decided to make some reindeer food. It’s very easy and fun, you just take regular oatmeal and stir in some glitter to make magic oats for the reindeer. Sprinkle on the lawn Christmas Eve. We put the finished baggie into the pocket for December 24th so we remember to do it. She was very serious, choosing just the right color glitter (pink iridescent) and measuring the oats into the bowl and stirring it together. Such fun!
Sweet Donovan continued with the consonant fun. All the da da da’s are so cute. We pretend he’s talking to Dada even though he’s just practicing his sounds. Donovan’s favorite part of the day today was when we practiced playing Jingle Bells and Joy to the World on our handbells. =) I loved it too!
