Baker, Baker Cookie Maker

When homeschooling you have to come up with creative things that will keep your children interested, not to mention yourself. One of the best ways I have found to keep learning fun and exciting is to bring the lessons to life. What better way than through good books. I have a sister who also home schools and she blogged a few months ago about how she has brought books to life for her children. Check it out, she is inspiring.

This is one of my children's favorite books,
when they are first learning to read
because it means "COOKIE TIME".
































I learned a few things today:
  • I LOVE spending time with my children/grandchildren.
  • Keep an eye on Tatianna at all times and NEVER eat of her cookies, chances are they have all been licked.
  • Make sure the sprinkler top is on tight before letting the children have them.
  • The book is true. There was No cookie left for the baker and so...
  • Make sure you set a cookie aside for yourself.

    Those are some REALLY great pictures. They are all so cute...I wish I could have had a cookie. I especially love the series of pictures leading up to Tatianna bending down to lick her cookie! Haha...so funny...but gross all at the same time. She is a funny girl! Thanks for taking the time to create these special memories for my girls...I want copies of ALL the pictures. :)

    What a great post! Loved the pictures, love the cute kids, and I love the cookie book. I think kids learn by doing, and it looks like those kids learned a lot. It looked like so much fun, I wish I was there baking (and eating) cookies with you. Thanks for the mention about my blog, that was a sweet thing to say.

    That Tati does like to lick stuff, doesn't she? You have to watch out for anything she might have gotten hold of! Looks like such a fun day, I'm glad the girls can go over there and be so loved!
