School @ the Mill

This week was one of the best because…. C is for Cookies!!!!  Of course Abby and I had to make a batch to celebrate (we made a tiny “only 6 cookies” batch so we I didn’t feel as guilty).  Abigail still loves helping me cook, so this was probably the highlight of her activities this week.  She did an awesome job and we read, “Cookies,” by Claire Clark while our cookies baked.  It’s so nice when I’m on top of it enough to do school time during Evie’s morning nap.  It keeps Abby quiet and happy and it’s sooo much more productive than trying to accomplish anything while sweet little Evie is climbing on and grabbing at everything.

I made these for a group of my siblings and nephews/niece for an after lunch snack when we visited a pumpkin patch a few weeks ago.  They seemed appropriate. haha  I had seen a bunch of similar pumpkin patch cups floating around pinterest and they were not only easy, but fun to make too!🎃 

I’ve mainly been focusing on having Abby practice writing her upper case letters since she’s still in the beginning stages with her pencil control.  She’s improving everyday though and loves making her letters!
