december daily 4

On the fourth day...

Elfy showed up this morning in the boys' room playing with all their Skylanders...or maybe the Skylanders were trying to attack Elfy because he seems a little scared :). 

This afternoon was a little crazy...

I am starting to realize it can be tricky fitting in our Advent activities in the small amount of time I have with all 3 kiddos in the evenings, especially when we have something else to do after school.  I did plan ahead on this one and tried to make it a super easy one, but we were still a little rushed trying to fit it in while getting dinner on the table at 6:45 since we had been gone since picking up Avery after school.  After school time is so valuable!!

Today's activity was to make "Grinch Kabobs".  Easy enough...you are just supposed to stick a toothpick through a green grape, banana, strawberry, and mini marshmallow on top and you have a cute little snack that looks like the Grinch's head.

Awesome right?! 

 Well the problem started at the grocery store when they didn't have strawberries...so we improvised with cranberries and purple grapes...well I don't think those things are equivalent...

Haha....NAILED it right??!!

I think this would fit under a Pinstrosity....

At least the boys had fun stabbing fruit with toothpicks!

Some other news...

After school today Avery's Cub Scout den went to a radio station and got to sit in while the DJ did live broadcast on air.  They also got to record themselves saying the Pledge of Allegiance, which will be played on the radio on a different date.  It was pretty interesting to see the inside workings of a station.
