*8th. 3rd. 5th.

I leave for the weekend and blogger.com is all different! Gah! Friday was a while ago so I may forget a few things, but you'll get the jyst.


Friday was "dairy day" where Babe's discussions were on the farm animals that give milk. But first on the agenda was Math, in which Babe completed her Chapter 2 test. Completed them very successfully I might add. So yay! Though her focus was a little lacking, she got through the test, and we moved on.


For the rest of the morning, Bubs and Babe papier-mached. I helped each of them cut long strips of newspaper. When they both had a nice pile of strips, I prepared the glue out of flour and water, showed them how to dunk and wipe the strip, and how to apply it to their balloon.


They. Loved. This.

 

 


















I can't express in words how much fun both of the girls had. And not only did they both have fun, they actually did it really, really well! They have no idea what the outcome is going to be (farm animal masks), but they followed directions and layered their strips onto their balloons. When all their strips were glued, we set them to dry.

After lunch, we spent the afternoon experimenting with two different milks, goat and cow. I first served each of them two unmarked cups and had them taste the A cup first. They both knew right away it was cow milk and finished it to the last sip! I then had them taste the B cup.

 








































After tasting the first two sips, Bubs spoke up first.


"This is not good."


ha! It was so cute. I asked her if she thought that was cow milk or goat milk.


"Goat milk. It's gross."


Another cute one.


Babe seemed to like the goat milk but knew it was different.


"I can't explain how, but it's different than the cow milk. It tastes...I don't know!"


I tasted it too and I agreed with Bubs. It was not good.

Bubs approves of Milk A! haha


After taste-testing the milk, we then hand-made ice cream from each milk. They both loved "massaging" the baggies, too. And surprisingly, they liked the taste of both ice creams. Bubs even sucked down the last drips of her goat milk ice cream! I know it's weird, but I liked the goat milk ice cream too. I guess it's proof you can add sugar to anything and make it taste 100% better!


 

We spent the rest of the day in the pool practicing our swimming.


Hooray for Fridays!
