B is for Bumblebee

We cut circles out of card stock and wrapped aluminum foil around them for the top of the antennae.  The kids had a blast!

A is for Alligator

On Your Marks, Get Set, Go!

Okay, so I decided to try something different today, before we started homeschool.  The boys can't seem to sit still while we're doing homeschool--they're literally doing back flips off their bunk bed (no, really!).  And, we don't exactly have a big backyard--or any for that matter--where they can run while I do housework, etc.  So, I decided to have them run laps around our condo building while I emptied the dishwasher and made my daily spinach and carrot smoothies!  Ah, multi-tasking at its finest! 

First we started off with some simple stretching exercises and jumping jacks.  Instead of having them try to beat each other, I used a stopwatch to have them try to beat their own personal time around the building!  On your marks, get set, go!  They loved it! 

Okay, now I if could just figure out how to incorporate exercise for myself while doing housework, it'd be that much better! :)
