Flat Stanley

We have official started class!! We started with flat Stanley and it has been great. 
Flat Stanley: His Original Adventure! I got the kids started by drawing out there people. 

We traced gingerbread cutters.  

                                               Then colored them.

I then began to read the book.

Each kid cut out their people.



I let them cut out their own projects even though people lost legs.

Daddy helped Gill-G with cutting.

Meet Mr. There.
Meet Mr. Girl.
Meet Miss. Gingerbread.
After we finish cutting and drawing we learned about measuring.
Daddy and Yasser carefully measured everyone.

We had to explain the different sides of the ruler a few times.
Gill- G had fun seeing how big Mr. Girl was.
Hulk man got bored with the group and left. He was discovering the joys of flipping a fork.
That seems way more fun than measuring. After we finished with everyone we passed them around and we are trying to see what adventures they encounter.

Hidden Gems: Sonneberg

When I tell people I live in Canandaigua NY first people think I live in NYC. I do not. Also I would never want to, there is way to many people and I can not have all of the pets I want. The second thing people think of is wine country. People are correct on the wine country thing but they fail to see or even know about all of our hidden gems. One being Sonnenberg Garden. I can only picture how gorgeous it was back in the day. It is still pretty but I wish the state would restore the bath house and fix the gardens further from the house.























































































It's Pan!!















I hope to get pictures for the moon light stroll soon.
