Like, In Minutes?

Andrew has been teaching the kids the differences between a "couple, several, few" as it relates to time. So when we tell the kids "in a couple minutes" they know that that means in 2 minutes, etc. It's not an exact science, but it helps the kids understand how long they should expect to wait for something.

On Saturday, Aurora was begging to start making Jesse's birthday cake and I told her we'd make it in a little while. She thought for a few minutes and then turned to me and said, "How long is a while, like, in minutes?" Dang! Sometimes it's not fair having smart kids.....

Jesse had "the best birthday ever" (in his words) yesterday. He loves colors, especially rainbows, and that's what he requested for his cake. It was really fun making it! The kids loved separating all the M&M's and helping to assemble the cake.
