February school stuff 2016

Luke asked me to come up with a really fun game for his Valentine's party.  I planned a game that did not fit with their hyperactivity... so I scrapped that and we played missionary tag instead.  They loved it and only a couple of people got hurt.  That's how I measure the success of activities for parties.  If there are only a couple accidents, then I feel it went well. 
Abigail's Valentine's envelope

 Hailey just loves to pretend she's a first grader with Carly.  When we goes to the parties, she just goes with the group Carly is in. 

 Carly has such fun friends

Hailey cracks me up, she  told me that she was going to stay in Carly's class until school got out.  She found a seat and did whatever Mrs. Deamer told the class to do.
I'm not very creative for crazy hair day, I really struggle with it.  Luckily, Abigail only wanted messy buns and Luke just needed spray paint. Carly didn't even want anything done. 

We went to the Storyteller's festival at the Egyptian theater for Abigail's class.  It was so fun!  They kept us laughing.  Luke was there too, but he got to listen to different story tellers than we did.  I could have sat all day and listened.  
 After the Storyteller festival, Abigail's grade went back to school, but Luke's grade went to the Treehouse Museum.  They did a play, and thankfully, 5th graders don't have to do the usual wand making... instead they made copies of the Declaration of Independence and had free time.
Luke has such a great group of friends from our neighborhood in his class.

Blue and Gold February 2016

Luke received his Arrow of Light award at the Blue and Gold in February.  He was so excited to set up his table and put lots of thought into what he would bring to show case what he likes.  He has worked hard in Scouts to earn awards.  His leaders have been so great and pushed him right along.  Now he's excited to see what 11 year old scouts is all about.
