After having such a great time with family visiting over the weekend, it was VERY hard to want to get back on track with our weekly duties, activities and routines.
After a slow start, we are getting back into the swing of things.
Sydney is starting to want to cook more with me in the kitchen. She loves to make Macaroni and Cheese. I thought it would be fun to record her during the whole process of making it and post it below. She also made a strawberry shortcake this week, minus the strawberries. She doesn't even like strawberries but LOVES whipped cream. So it became a whipped cream shortcake!

In his free time, Aaron composed a new instrumental song. He wrote out the notes to it, played it live for me and recorded it so I could share it on here. Recorded for your listening pleasure, "Tick - Tock" by Aaron Carothers.
What to do with left over Root Beer and Vanilla Ice Cream from the weekend ~ Root Beer Floats!
Today's art lesson was in celebration of the arrival of Spring and it went extremely well. Aaron and Syd worked on a Chalk Pastel drawing of a bird's nest. It was a free tutorial from www.hodgepodge.me.
After the project was complete they both wanted to work on another drawing, so they worked on a drawing tutorial of the Disney character Elsa from the movie Frozen. This project took 30 minutes to complete but it was well worth the effort! The drawings turned out FANTASTIC!
Of course my big project today was to do a quick meal plan to get us through the weekend and then head to the grocery store. Do you think I bought enough chocolate chips for the week?! :D I do use them in pancakes, banana muffins, cookies, waffles, brownies, you name it! Everything tastes way better with chocolate!
I really am back on my diet!
Tonight I had some fun playing Barbies with Syd. She really gets into her Barbie role! My doll for the evening was Miss Sue-Ella. She has brown hair, a sweet and loving personality. Oh yeah, I almost forgot, she is also a princess. Do I have a great imagination or what?!
Well, I'm off to plan and prep for our school day tomorrow. :o)
