Snow Day 11-15

Weds. night anticipating a big snow storm over night, the kids wore their jammies inside out as a superstition for not having school the next day.

 They built a snowman that they called Chilly. There was a 2nd snowman but Cooper decided to climb on top of it.

 Before it got dark, we went down the street to a couple of big hills and sledded down them. They loved it until everyone's hands and feet got cold.

Candy Challenge

I promised the kids that we could do a Candy Challenge with all the leftover Halloween candy. They all put a blindfold on. Bo couldn't find one so he just used a pillow case and Cooper of course copied him. Cooper spent most of the time peeking. 

Visit to Mysuem (local children's museum)

They built an arch out of cushions.

 Also, they built a house out of big legos that Cooper could fit in.

Homework/Quizes

The kids are starting to have some homework and quizzes on Friday. Emily's test was on the 7 continents and 5 oceans

 Bo's quiz was on What is Government

Cooper's Halloween Party (10-29)

Cooper had a Halloween party at his school. They paraded around the gym and received candy from the parents, they decorated a pumpkin, and sang some Halloween songs. I put some links to his songs below.

Carving Pumpkins (10-28)

On Sunday we went to the pumpkin patch and each kiddo picked out their pumpkins. When we came home, they all carved their own. Cooper needed some help but they all did a great job and were very proud of their work.
