This week began with my husband traveling. He was visiting his parents and was able to stay with my parents as well. We missed him and were glad when he returned on Wednesday morning.
"Nobody bakes a cake as tasty as Tastykake." We have Tastykakes. These are two new flavours. I think my favourites used to be the chocolate with vanilla inside and the butterscotch krimpets. I put a pack in the freezer for me for February since I am on a food challenge this month.
The exciting gift was daddy with grandpa's help boxed up Miss K's doll cradle that was in storage and brought it here. It was one that grandpa had made for her and for whatever reason we put it in storage. She has asked at various times for her cradle and so she was excited to get it.
Miss K and I began a FutureLearn science. We have done this in the past so I was pleased to find another course. This week we were seeing how much water is in a potato. Quite a lot and I am not sure my microwave will recover from that science experiment.
We moved to World War I in history. I found a timeline of major events and it worked great as we were reading to just review the events.
We did World War I in three days. That was not much time but we covered the highlights. We watched the Sainsbury's commercial which gives a bit of the Christmas Truce. It does bring to tears to my eyes.
I discovered some new history videos today. We enjoyed the World War I in 6 minutes.
Miss K wanted to make a fruit owl that she found in her Peppa Pig magazine. I am not sure it really looked like an owl but we had fun making it and enjoyed the fruit.
This afternoon the sun was shining and we went for a walk and played a bit in the woods. It was nice to be able to be outside for a bit.
That about wraps up our week.

Sounds like a good week, Beth! Thanks for the link to that commercial.
