Z-Z-Zucchini Muffins!

We are still working on z's this week. And today we made zucchini muffins, Zane's favorite. This homeschooling is definitely eye opening. Some things I am so surprised at because I think it will be easy peasy for Zane, but it's not. We've been practicing writing z's and it's just not easy! I thought-three lines-it should be easy, but it's a challenge! And I also know that that's normal. Just need some deep breaths! haha! Also, I made a quick math activity out of an egg carton where he had to look at a number and count out that many pegs and put it in the egg carton. He was able to do up to five, but all the rest of them were wrong! Again, I was surprised! So, I finally figured out he was looking at the number, like 8, and then counting on from 8. That will be a game we will be doing again in the future! I don't know why I am surprised. He's never done activities like these before and he's just in Pre-K! haha! We, all of us, are learning lots through this journey.

The kids love to cook and bake and for the first time ever, I sent both Zane AND Rachel over to the neighbor's house with a note and two warm zucchini muffins. Rachel was so uncertain and would walk while looking behind at me, causing her to go off course and zigzag all the way over there. But, I thought it would be good for them to do a good deed and be a good neighbor. I didn't last long-I had to go over and get them pretty quickly. :) But they had a good 30 minute visit. When I went in, our neighbor told me they were having a milk party! And my kids had eaten some of their muffins! haha! Next time I need to send enough for all of them. :)

Enjoy the pictures!
