Yesterday was the first day of school for Alan and Sarah. I'm so sad I forgot to take first day of school pictures. They had a great day though, and I think this will be a happy year for them.
As for Kaitlyn, Georgia has this ridiculous 6 1/2 hour long, 5 day a week program for 4 year olds, that I refuse to subject my little children to. Can you say "Developmentally inappropriate"? Anyway, Kaitlyn is with me.
While the big kids were at school, we did some good 4-yr-old math and science today. I let her and William sort some m&m's in mini muffin tins. Then we colored some dry macaroni. We hypothesized about what would happen if we put both red and blue on it, and during the experiment, we saw that it turned the macaroni purple! Kaitlyn had the idea to see what it would look like if we cooked it. I had never tried this before, and I thought it was great for her to think of this herself, so we did it. After it was cooked, the macaroni was still purple, and we decided to make it into macaroni and cheese for lunch.
