We have such fun plans for today and are having somewhat of a backwards day. We are starting with a fieldtrip, followed by schoolwork. We are heading out to check out a local Airborne museum and wander around downtown. We drove through there recently when we went to the library and saw a bunch of cute stores and interesting places we want to investigate. In the afternoon, we’ll come back to do Emily’s schoolwork.
I printed off several activities from DLTK’s Growing Together website in the Valentine section – so many fun, FREE printables! I got some great math, handwriting, and fine motor practice activities that Emily will enjoy. We’ll also do some fun science experiments with chocolate like comparing how long a hershey’s kiss takes to melt in your mouth at room temperature versus when it’s frozen.
For dinner, we are continuing to be backwards because we are doing breakfast for dinner and making some PINK pancakes! They are colored NATURALLY (the secret ingredient is beets) – can you believe it? I can’t wait to do these…I am so excited! I baked and processed the beets today, so we’re ready to go. Also on the menu is heart shaped pizza dough stuffed with scrambled eggs, ham and cheese, strawberry milkshakes, and berries with whipped cream! Yum!
Here are some pictures from our fun day. I hope you enjoy your Valentine’s Day with those you love!
