This activity takes about two minutes to set up and entertains the children for a good hour. It’s awesome that baking soda, food coloring, vinegar can be so fun!
After they are out of reactive fun they get all mad scientisty with their pretend play. It’s all Jekyll and Hyde (SO should have recorded THAT bit!), and witches and wizards at the the kitchen table.
Kaylee couldn’t figure out how to use the medicine dropper, so I had to stop filming and teach her how to do it.
We ordered some school uniforms for Kaylee a few days ago. She and I have been epically excited about their arrival. Well the UPS truck pulled up to our house today with a box for little miss. “Hold on Mom. I’ll go get the scissors.”
“Hold on Kaylee I’ll get the camera.”
Man her happy dance was fantastic. This kid has been begging to go to Kindergarten for the last couple years. And everyday since her enrollment screening she asks if it’s time to go to kindergarten. I think she and I will make a countdown chain.
I imagine that if I ever had a pile of money to swim in, I’d act like Kaylee did swimming through her uniforms! She was thrilled!
She was trying to decide what to try on first.
I got her 6 shirts, 4 pants, 2 scooters, 4 shorts, and a lightweight sweater to wear if she gets chilly in class.
We aren’t really a tuck in your shirt family. Unless it’s Sunday. So when I was tucking in her shirt she started laughing. “Mom, I look like Emilio!” Emilio wears onesis and pants.
I got her one size too big. She has plenty of room to grow. She is likely going to be wearing most of this stuff for first grade as well.
Scooters are the skirt with the built in shorts. I had to explain the difference between skort and scooter to Jon. So if you wondered, now you know.
The shorts and pants come with the button hole elastic. Which is a life saver when you have skinny kids. I was able to find and order slim cut pants and shorts, but still had to tighten the waist a whole lot.
Sadly the scooters don’t have an adjustable waist. I’m gonna have to do some sewing. “Kaylee lean against the couch and don’t move for this picture. I don’t want your skirt to fall down.”
“Great idea Mom!”
I’m probably going to get a few more things, but that will be this winter. Thick leggings, and stuff like that.
We are narrowing down on a backpack. Good grief I know I’m going to be sad her first day of school when she walks away from me, but right now her excitement is way TOO contagious!
I am so happy Kaylee got into this charter school. Best part is siblings automatically get a seat at the school. So Regan will be going there without having to add his name to the lottery! YEA!
The children LOVE science experiments. I love how much they love home school. And they didn’t even know they learned all about non-Newtonian fluids. Sweet!
