Cookies & a Baby Turtle

All we needed was a project.

During our Friday play date we stretched the limit of time that toddlers usually last with a simple project.  Cookies.  We tried using the 101 kit of cookie cutters that I found at Target on our cookie dough, but very quickly we discovered that logs of cookie dough are not meant to be formed into different shapes.  But regardless the project provided enough structure and focus to make a Friday play date last almost 5 hours.  And when its raining out side this was a huge win for the mommies!






After naptime, Grant provided another treat for our Friday - a baby turtle.  One of his crews found it and he brought it home to show LB.  She loved it.  And we had to watch her cause she would get so excited and start jumping up and down right around it.  Thankfully she never landed on it and we sent the turtle on its way in our backyard.
