Christmas Cookies

Tonight Ben, Morgan, and myself went to some friends house to let the kids decorate sugar cookies. We had a great time getting together with eachother and playing with all the kids. As you can see from the pictures above, it was quite a mess!

Santa

We were shoppng at Wal Mart on Sat. when Santa walked by. Morgan squealed, "Santa, see him." Santa then walked over and said hello to Morgan, when he left Morgan insisted, "See him, see him." So we did. She got especially excited when she heard him say, "Ho Ho Ho."

Morgan and I were playing in the living room after her bath, which explains why her hair looks like Kramer on Seinfeld, lol. It is so curly, but gorgeous! She talks a lot these days, but tends to be shy in front of new people so I thought this would be a great way to show off some of her presonality.

Christmas

Rather than have everyone ask me what Morgan want/needs for Christmas, I thought I would post a list here for her.

• Night time sleepers 24mo. or 2T
  
• Bathime toys


• Large wooden puzzels
  
• Board books
  
• Dress up clothes


• Anything musical - a small keyboard or age appropriate instruments.


• My first Doll house - here's a link to one at Toys R Us I think she would like.
  
• Clothes - Shirts 24 months / Pants 18 months
  
• Things for her sensory table - ex. feathers, beans, toy cars, pom poms - things with lots of texture.
• Baby doll funrniture - a cradle, high chair, changing table.


• Anything else you can think of, I am sure she would love it -these are just sugestions so don't feel obligated!

Digital Storytelling

Today I was in a reading workshop where we created digital stories. The intention is for us to take this idea back to our classrooms and have the kids use this with their writing. But first, we had to create one of our own. It was very simple to create and a lot of fun. It'll be interesting to see what a bunch of 10 year olds can do with this technology!

Halloween

Morgan had a blast on Halloween. She figured out really quick that if she held out her pumpkin people would put goodies in it for her. She would quickly pull one out each time and say, "Open!" She had a sugar rush going for sure!

Tom many cook's in the kitchen!

Making dinner can be a difficult task if Ben isn't home to entertain Morgan while I am cooking. Last night Ben was gone and I had to make dinner, so I put Morgan's little table in the kitchen and pulled out a pan and a spoon so she could "cook" while mommy was cooking. She had a blast! Before I knew it though she was pulling out more untensils and making quite a mess. When the dinner I was cooking was done, I said, "Are you ready to eat?" Morgan said, "Eat" and began to put away all her cooking supplies before climbing into her chair for dinner! I snapped several pictures while she was cooking I though it was so cute!
