Chris...Holi...Winter Party

The boys had their winter party today. It was pretty awesome. They brought a few little presents for the class. It's pretty neat how they have them open them. Everyone gets a guess, and then there is a little Q&A session before they finally get to tear into the present. The kids get all into it and makes it last a little longer.

They also got to decorate ginger bread houses. The boys showed remarkable restraint in that they only put every third piece of candy and/or scoop of icing into their mouths instead of on the house. As soon as they were done deco-gorging those they moved right into decorating cookies. Then eating them. Hooray for sugar.

The day wound up like always; the clean up song, songs and stories at circle time and then the goodbye song. I think the world would be a better place if adults had to sing a song before they did anything everyday. Hard to be in a bad mood when you describe what you are about to do in lilting sing-song.

My reason for reason.

Airborne...All The Way!

The Tinkertoys brought the house down.

Mommy got to sneak down from her class to get in on the action.

An orange abominable snowman...hey find me a real white one.

Prediction: He will break many, many young girl's hearts.
