Today was another busy day! In circle time, Lorien shared her elephant & Darius shared his “Extra box” with us, where he keeps his valuable treasures.
Making home-made finger paint was fun & easy! The children took turns counting to 100 while stirring. We painted on black paper with the 2 Halloween colors were created, orange & white! We used salt to make the pictures shiny. I think the children loved sprinkling the salt the most!
During lunch we had some unexpected guests- bees! Anne of course ran into the house & left the children to fend for themselves! Lorien followed her Mommy & Darius took control of the situation & began to catch the bees. He is a natural born bee catcher.

I just knew the kids wouldn't be harmed if I ran away. They just loved the LEMON cake I was eating!
