play all day! crafts and cookies and colanders, oh my!

March 26
today was an all play day - fun fun fun!
this morning we did an easter craft (i was sick the day our parkday group did it together). better late than never. :) we melted crayons in wax paper and put it between construction paper with a cross cut out. it looks like stained glass when in the window.
then we baked chocolate chip cookies.
while baking we went to the neighbors to get lemons. (in our neighborhood, there is no reason to buy lemons, oranges, tangerines, or avocadoes - this is why we planted an apple tree, so we too could contribute - i don't know how soon we'll have enough to go around...)
we made lemonade! yummy! (this is where we use the colanders - mentioned in the post title - to strain the juice for a pulp-free lemonade!) the photo shows the straight lemon juice which we put into a mason jar with the sugar for the kids to shake up. :) they jump around like crazy - on the carpet - and get it mixed well.
then we distributed all the cookies that could not fit in the cookie jar to neighbors. 8 plates in all. everyone loves when the boys make cookies!
i was tired, but the kids had so much fun. yet another fun-tastic day.
