Brayden has been absolutely begging to get back into Book Cooks- a class through our park district that he has been in for the past 3 years. He is on the older end for this class, but loves it just as much as he ever has- even at the "old age" of 5 and a half, and was thrilled to start back this week. (It may have something to do with his adoration for the teacher, Miss Michelle. The two of them have quite the bond.) This class is just adorable; each week they read a story, and then do a food craft to go along with the story- and get to eat their work.
This week's story was about bugs, and then the kids got to make a plate of bugs- a spider, caterpillar, beetle, and ants on a log (seen below).

The class is technically for 3-5 year olds. I held off on enrolling Brayden in the last several sessions because Rhylan was at the age where he would just run around and be a distraction. I figured we would be "safe" enrolling now, and that he would just listen to the story and watch Brayden make his project. Well, let's just say that Rhylan consumed so much of the project supplies that I had to enroll him (by far the youngest official class member) to cover the cost of of said "art supplies". Miss Michelle was quite gracious and said it wasn't necessary, but knowing Rhylan's appetite first hand, I promptly coughed up the cash. (He can be seen above with his project--- notice how much is on the plate, and how much is left as evidence on those cheeks.....)
