Floury Writing

When we dropped Cole off at preschool today, Max saw the table with trays of flour and colored salt and made a bee line straight to it!   I got him to leave by promising him his own tray of flour at home.  So he spent a little while doing some floury writing this morning. … Continue reading →

5!

Birthday-Boy-Cole had a wonderful day on Saturday!  Presents first thing and chocolate chip pancakes for breakfast.  Monkey Joe’s in the afternoon.  Family dinner and a volcano cake to top off the day.  Happy Happy 5th Birthday Cole!
