I LOVE Eggs!

This morning I turned the corner and saw Preston reading!  So cute!  I know he can read chapter books, but he usually wants to read to me. His teacher has him read one chapter a night out of The Magic Tree House.  I had never seen him sit with a chapter book and read by himself before.  Hope he keeps this up!

It was Preston's turn to make dinner tonight.  His menu:  pumpkin bread, banana nut muffins, raw carrots and milk.  When they choose the menu they are going to make, they need to make sure there is something from every food group.  Not the healthiest dinner tonight, but Preston spent a lot of time with me in the kitchen.  He absolutely loved cracking eggs.  He kept saying, "I love eggs!" over and over.  He needed to crack three for the bread and three for the muffins.  He was in heaven!  We had to fish out a few shells, but no big deal.  He was a pro by the end.

His dinner was delicious.  Probably not nutritious.  Mike and I took Maysen to pottery today.  She has been working on a sugar bowl since January.  She has been really excited about it.  We went to pick it up and were very disappointed.  The glaze that she used was contaminated.  It is not supposed to look all bubbly.  That we can live with, but it got worse.  The glaze fused the lid to the dish.  We can't get the lid off.  Her teacher said there was nothing he could do.  He doesn't know if it was the glaze or if Maysen put too much of it on.  Probably a combination of both.  So disappointing.  We were only able to find one more thing of hers.  She was able to glaze that.  She is missing at least one finished product and one waiting to be glazed.  Hopefully we can find it next time we get back there.

On the way home we stopped by the apple store.  Mike got me a new battery for my laptop.  We also got Maysen a case for her ipad mini.  We have 14 days to try it out.  It is a keyboard case.  We got her one for Christmas, but it was a different brand and it doesn't work very well.  It is so hard to open.  Hopefully this one will work better.  We will have to see if she can get used to the smaller keyboard size.
