The Mayflower

After reading about the Mayflower, the kids did a very simple painting.  Camden doesn't like getting paint on his hand, so he wasn't too keen on the handprint.  I think their favorite part was painting the ocean.  Camden said Ciera's Mayflower was in a storm, and his was in calm water.

 

We also made some pumpkin cupcakes with cinnamon cream cheese frosting.  They pulled chairs up to the counter and wouldn't leave until I finished making the frosting.  They wanted to make sure they were there to lick the beaters.  Later, when I asked Ciera what the Mayflower was, she replied, "It's a cupcake!"  I tried explaining again that it was the ship the Pilgrims came over on, but she was adamant, "No, it's a cupcake!"  I think we'll have to try reading her board book again sometime.
