Marissa the Mother Hen

Today James found Marissa and Makayla under the table trying clean up a carton of broken eggs.  I had been in the shower when the excitement happened and so sat them down to talk again after I was done.  We have never had problems with the kids taking things out of the fridge before and was racking my brian trying to come up with why they had thought to do such a thing now.  It turns out Marissa had taken  the eggs out of the fridge to take care of them.  She had sat on them "to keep them warmer."  She did not realize that they would break when sat on and was quite upset that they had made a big mess  and were now broken.  I guess it turned out to be an unexpected hand-on lesson, as we are finishing up our module on birds.

Oh my goodness Pam! That is too funny! It's not funny that you had to clean eggs out of the carpet, but at least she is "getting it!" What an imagination. :)
