The Bug and I went on a little hike today. We gained bit of elevation... just enough to where the Aspen trees were starting to turn. I think the neatest thing we discovered, at least to him, was an old cottonwood tree with a woodpecker hole in it. It was the perfect opportunity to explain the differences in birds using the woodpecker and the swallows as examples. I think those are two birds he can now easly identify and knows the differences in. We also collected leaves, found a few rocks, a nice new walking stick (I think he has about 20 now scattered in the yard), and enjoyed the beautiful Fall-like day....
This afternoon, The Cat and I made cookies. She hasn't really been in to cooking and baking all that much, so when she seemed interested, I jumped right on it. It was really good practice for her on fine motor skills with the mixing and forming the dough balls and she was pretty proud of how they turned out. Of course, I used the cheaters method of pre-made sugar cookie mix and canned frosting... but to her, they were homemade and that is all that counts :-)
