Pennies!

So yesterday Emma and I decided to count all the change in the house. I told her she could have it and we could put it in the fun change machine at the store and she can get whatever she wants with it. Emma is really great at counting by tens so we divided up all the money into piles of 10 and went from there.


We ended up with a grand total of $5.11 cents. As you can see Emma is REALLY happy to have $5.11! I want to be 5 so I can be that thrilled to have $5.11

But the fun didn't end there. We decided pennies are good fun. So we made 3 flowers. One representing each of the "Three Family"...that is something I adore about my girl. She is always thinking of the three of us together.

We also built a wall with all of the change. Emma got bored of helping me after a while but she was very interested in watching me work. LOL






Emma and I also did something else new yesterday. We went to Ikea and instead of her tagging a long with me in the store we decided she'd have fun in the play area. This is hard for me. I'm not used to dropping her off anywhere. But we talked about it a bit and she does well at the daycare at the gym. So I signed her in and dropped her off and she had a blast! Homeschooling an only child forces you to seek out play time and this was a perfect chance. So we both had fun. And she got to jump into her first ball pit, something else new too!
