Lately I've been trying to spread out fhe assignments to various children, in hopes that they'll be preoccuppied with their responsibilities...too preoccupied to jump from the chair to the ottoman and from the ottoman to the couch. I gave Sofia the lesson (How to build a loving home), Annika the music, and I assigned Anthony to sit on Jonathan and James (so that they could stay in one place for 10-15 minutes). It went pretty well and freed up my time, so that I could throw stuff together for an activity/treat at the end.
We made...and ate our own loving homes. They were cup-cakey good, if I do say so myself!
Sofia's house.
My house. I thought the roof in particular was adorlicious.
Annika's house. Such modern lines! I had pictured her as more of a cottagey type.
Anthony's. My favorite.
Jonathan's house was voted "most likely to impail the foot of a careless giant."
James went straight to eating cupcakes, candy, and cookies. He thought the "loving home" construction was a big waste of time. How efficient of him, nicht?
