N is for Nest

We're on the letter N right now and our theme is nests. Evelyn came over on Tuesday and she got to join in on the N egg- citement (haha). We were going to make those butterscotch haystacks and put eggs in them to make birds' nests. But I let LG taste a butterscotch chip before we started and she didn't like it at all! So we regrouped and used melted chocolate chips and peanut butter instead. The girls had lots of fun putting the eggs in the nests and even more fun eating their creations!

Sweet little cooks!

And they both looked and smiled at the same time! Amazing!!

"Then came the Chocolate Chins. They were all eating chocolates. And the chocolate was slippery and slickered all over their chins. Some of them spattered the ends of them spread the brown chocolate nearly up to their ears. And then as they marched in the wedding procession of the Rag Doll and the Broom Handle they stuck their chins in the air and looked around and stuck their chins in the air again." (The Wedding Procession of the Rag Doll and the Broom Handle and Who Was In It, by Carl Sandburg)

Lydda Grace says "I'm a chocolate chin!" When she makes a mess with chocolate. That sounds like we let her eat it all the time... it's a special treat though :)
