Carrots!

Wyatt and I started out our day by reading the books about airplanes we had checked out of the library yesterday. We talked about pilots who fly the planes and how they need to have good eyesight and one thing that helps us have good eyesight is eating carrots. So we went out to the garden and dug up our little patch of carrots, I think that this was almost his favorite part, he loves digging. We then washed, peeled chopped their tops off and threw them in a blender... which shredded them nicely for us. Wyatt then helped me follow a carrot cake recipe and dumped every thing in a bowl and mixed it well. We made carrot cupcakes, most of which looked like they exploded then con-caved because they were filled too full but that is nothing a little frosting didn't fix! It's so fun to be involved with Wyatt's learning, I look at everything we do in a different way. I feel like instead of trying to just survive what we do and the mess that is made we go and search for ways to make messes together and it's fun.
It was a good day and I just wanted to write about it. (and the carrot cupcakes were really good!)
