purging and book club!

 last sunday i tore my book shelves a part and purged.  i ended up with 3 huge bags of books and a box stuffed to the brim!  i made room for my new books, saved the old and looked through old memory books.  it was a fun way to spend the evening. now my book shelf is ready for more books! ha

monday morning was BOOK CLUB!  it was my turn this month to host, i chose the lions center. we had a larger turn out than what i thought we would because i was NOT showing a movie and the book was a bit harder to read than books in the past. 

we did little house in the big woods.  to start off i sat the kids in a circle and we played a game answering questions about the book.  the kids impressed me buy how much they remembered!

then we hit the tables to make our lap book. again, i wasnt sure how this would go over....the kids worked 45 mins on them! 
 during the circle time i told the kids how they made butter and we made our own, whip cream in a jar and shake for 30 mins.  we made butter, i added some salt and brought bread to dip. it was SO good. the kids ate all of it! ha
 after our snack of fresh better and bread. we made clove apples.  i guessed about 20 mins for this activity but the kids spent another 45 mins working away!  book club ran over, the parents didnt mind.  after the clove apples, we had a snack and played a few games and it was time to go home!
