Alia has started doing "big kid play dates" with her best buddy Carson. He goes to preschool on Monday, Wednesday and Friday and Alia goes to preschool on Tuesday and Thursday. So, that just wasn't working out for us! Now, we try to do a big kid play date once a week in the afternoon when the little brothers are napping. It has been a big hit so far! We do an art project and a snack project and play play play! Miss Jamie and I alternate houses so every other week one of us gets the afternoon "off" while the little boys are napping. Everyone is very happy with this plan except Max. He just does not understand why is not included in the big kid stuff. Poor little buddy!
BIG KID PLAY DATE #1
Carson and Alia making rice krispie treat pumpkins.
The formed them into balls, used frosting for the leaves and a gummy bear for the stem. There was considerable gummy bear sampling that took place during this project!

Going for a "ride" together
Max was happy to be in on the fun after he woke up from nap. They played in his room and pretended his bed was a ship. He was thrilled!
BIG KID PLAY DATE #3
We did more of a Thanksgiving themed project this time.
Glueing popcorn onto our corn cutout
Sampling was half the fun!
Our treat that day ... one box of spice cake mix, one 15 oz can of Libby's pumpkin and 1 cup of chocolate chips! That's it! I did sprinkle a little powdered sugar on top just for fun though.
