-The girls helped with hanging, folding and putting away laundry.
-They played together, creating imaginary scenarios, most of which had to do with Christmas.
-Walked to music class in the pouring rain - not overly fun. Our umbrellas kept getting blown inside out due to the heavy winds and we were soaked. It is December now. I wish it were snow that was falling! Today was our last music class. The kids listened to songs that switched from major to minor keys and did different dances for each key, among other activities.
-The girls danced around to Christmas music.
-We had a discussion about what soul music is, as one of our Christmas CDs has a song called 'A Soul Christmas' on it. Talked about how our friend Bonnie performed the song 'Soul Man' in the play Cinderella that we saw last weekend. We got out a James Brown CD to listen to more soul music. The girls danced to it.
-They made finger paintings.
-Observed a beautiful rainbow. Talked a bit about how rainbows happen. Muirgen wanted to go over to the street where the rainbow was, so we talked about how you can never get to a rainbow.
-Worked on our Christmas gifts.
-Girls helped make fettucine alfredo for supper.
-They hung out with Jason for the evening since I went for dinner at Ann's place with a bunch of women from Next.
