Caught Red-handed

Yesterday I had my game-on and worked on a little lesson with nicholas and Celia. I want to be able to spend some time each day working on different skills and teaching them... but often between feeding them breakfast, cleaning that up, nursing aaron, putting aaron to nap, getting N&C dressed, etc, etc... then its time for lunch. Whew. Our mornings are a whirlwind, and then before I know it, dinner is supposed to be started and everything is still frozen. Ay yi yi
Well, this morning I woke up early so that i was all dressed and ready for the day. So I quickly got N&C all set for the day and while Aaron was taking his morning nap I had them come sit at the computer with me and we worked on 'letter Aa' on starfall.com (great website). Then i had them come to the table and i carved a letter 'A' out of a 1/2 an apple (so they each had a 1/2) and they dipped it in red paint and made letter 'a' prints with Apples. Soon they ditched the apples and were slathering up their hands and forearms in red tempera paints. ahhh to be 2 again (well...almost 3). What can you do but savor the simplicity of the moment and photograph it...
