We spent Sunday with grandparents. She had made a treasure map of their back yard, so they followed that. Then we headed to the Bay Discovery Museum. Tobias appreciated the Daniel Tiger exhibit, but Genevieve was more excited about other things. She made a trolley, played with glitter sand and took a nature walk. He played in the construction pit and they both enjoyed the room with trains and boats.
On Labor Day, we read some stories and built with some unconventional blocks like bottles. We played with water, and Genevieve asked if she could make a fountain. I found some instructions from Australia, which involved making a small hole in a plastic bottle, where you should insert a straw. We sealed it with some tape. We filled the bottle with water and blew up a balloon, placing it over the opening. The air pressure then creates a fountain.
We went to storytime, then all worked on some cleaning. They both helped with dishes. Then Genevieve helped with one of her favorite activities - baking. We made some blueberry muffins.
We had some friends over for science activities. We experimented with trying to float fruit, cut them open to see the seeds and used them as stamps. We also tried to explore what might help keep an apple from turning brown, but actually just had fun with baking soda, vinegar and lemon juice.
We went to music class, where we sang about animals. Tobias was happy to be back for marching and Genevieve had a great time throughout. After music, we came home and she started working on invitations for her birthday.
We ended the week with building the tallest towers we could and painting a Day of the Dead skull.
