The kids set up a store each again today. We decided to put price tags on things and Nathan was at the cash register taking the money and giving out change. At the end of the "day" we tallied up our day's takings.

The tape measures then came out and both were running around measuring things.

Cracking open a dried acorn from off our nature display

Since my sewing machine came out a few days ago, Danielle's been wanting to do some sewing. She decided her baby needed a little apron as well. I sewed the main part and she decorated the pocket with swirls of sewing.

Nathan then wanted to make his doggie a hat. He did all the sewing himself with my help at guiding the fabric.

A bit of magnetix

Then pancakes for lunch. We moved on with the fractions and discussed what would happen if we split our 1/3 in half again. Then showed how the bits all fitted together differently.

We made a rhubarb and apple crumble for pudding tonight (has been a favourite lately). Nathan wanted to share the recipe with his nannie, so wrote out the recipe to give to her when he will see her on Sunday.

Danielle got the playdough out.

We continued on reading Heidi several times during the day.
