Pookie & Fig

Today's planned activity for the girls was to make banana bread. It seemed like a good idea--the girls and I hadn't cooked in awhile and all that banana mashing would be fun, right?
Ooh no...nope...definetly not fun. Just a minute or two into the cooking and the girls were bored, bored, bored. But the unplanned dish washing afterwards? Now that was a hit!
Pookie carefully filled the sink, added the soap, and washed, scrubbed and rinsed the dishes...
...while Fig stayed busy with scooping up water in her cup, pouring it into the thermos, pouring it into the mug, and pouring it all back into the sink...

...and I sat back and observed. It was a good reminder for me that children don't necessarily need carefully planned lessons in order to be learning--they are always at work pursuing knowledge.

So what's the plan for tomorrow? I don't know, I think I'll wait and see what the girls come up with...
