M&E celebrated Mardi Gras with some beads and an authentic Gambino's king cake courtesy of Granddaddy. The beads are still alive and well. However, the king cake did not last more then 48 hours in our home; the first third of it was consumed within the afternoon of its arrival.
One afternoon it was warm enough to go outside and take a stab at some finger painting. I was surprised that it actually was not a hit. M&E were very concerned with the paint on their hands and weren't much interested in smearing it on the paper. They wanted me to wipe it off so they could climb the fence instead. (Climbing, on the other hand, is a huge hit in our home these days: fences, coffee tables, dining tables, beds are all fair game.)
A couple of days ago it was way too cold to go outside and both M&E have a cold so we were stuck in the house all day. However, some Montessori training freed me up to fix some homemade chicken noodle soup for dinner. Here is Eli practicing transferring noodles from bowl to bowl - very good for fine motor skills development.
