Rainy Afternoon...

Tuesday... We started circle time with a book about going to the moon and having a moon cake... after we colored our planets for our paper, we each had a "moon cake". They thought they were so delicious, they kept on asking for more, but I told them that I only was able to bring back 10 from the moon:))

We enjoyed listening to the thunder when we were outside this morning, we were able to enjoy the whole time outside without rain!

Breakfast: pop tarts, grapes
Lunch: taco ring, lettuce, grapes
Snack: apples

Here is the recipe for "Moon Cake" AKA Yum Yum:

1st layer: Oreo cookie crumbs, crushed

2nd layer:
   Beat together:
       2 c. powdered sugar
       1/2 c. butter
       1 whole egg
       1 egg yolk
       1 tsp vanilla
       Cocoa mixture (3 TBSP cocoa wtih 1 TBSP oil)
   Fold in the one egg while that you separated and beat until stiff, then spoon this mixture over the cookie crumbs and freeze until solid.

3rd layer:
Layer with vanilla ice cream and sprinkle on top remaining Oreo cookies crumbs. I usually use a 1/2 gallon of ice cream and open the carton and slice about 1 inch thick slices and lay sideways until full layer of ice cream.
