Popcorn Popping!

Yesterday in preschool, we started learning about seasons.
I told the kids I was going to make it snow inside the house.
They didn't believe me but were really curious what I was doing.

We spread out a sheet and I popped popcorn in my ancient air popper without the lid.
Popcorn (and kernels) were flying all over the living room!
(I love Emma's expression in this picture.)

The kids were so excited!
So much fun!
But I think I'll be finding kernels forever in the nooks and crannies of my house.

The kids took the time to play in the "snow"--
totally funny!
Popcorn was everywhere. This picture does show it but trust me...everywhere!

Then we gathered some up in a bowl and we decorated Winter and Spring trees.

These are some seriously fun kids!


I also got a new nephew yesterday!
Brit Runner Veenker
made his grand appearance 3 weeks early and good thing for Cricket...
he weighed in at 9 lbs. 10 oz. !
Congratulations Cricket and Craig!
I can't wait to see him!

Wow that doesn't even look like a newborn he's so big! The popcorn idea is so fun!

P.S. watch KSL.com for deals on tables, we got such a steal on ours!!

I did that once too, only it was with oatmeal in the blender...the lid wasn't on quite tight enough.

I also wasn't excited and running around in it with my hands in the air.

You know, maybe it really wasn't like it after all...

My nerves are shot just reading about this! My practical voice is cautioning you to beware field mice.
