Order in the Court?

So we did a couple of court cases - Evie and I watched some videos about courts and read a book and we made note cards for each position in the court and what they do so that people could decide who they wanted to be! It was pretty cool.

The Case of the Stolen Cookies

The Case of the Turned off Movie

and a third one I can't remember. But I DO know we had a lot of fun and their were JUSTICE CUPCAKES for afterwards.. so that was really good.

 I also see that mom still can't get the hang of laying one of these posts out and having photos in it. 

Okay gotta go. 

Wow it has definatly been a long time since we've updated this blog.
Really sorry about that.
Well, its time to restart things!
What better way than with a day in court
No, no don't worry, this was a FUN court. And it was in our house... with our friends and puppets... so it was okay... trust me.

Here, maybe its better if I start with HOW this came about...
It started when me (Sloan) learned about those 3 branches of government. Legis-latured? something like that... and the executive (you know thePresident?) and the judges. Well we didn't learn much about the judges, just the other two right, and I wanted to know what the judges one did... so mom asked if I wanted to do a court day.
Of course I said YEA! Cause court party!
