Painting folding fans...
Getting daddy's help...
Look what we made...
Lots of food.... Noodles,rice, chicken,beef,veggies,and egg rolls
Today the kids and I decided to have some fun, and it tied in with our World History studies. We celebrated the Chinese Spring Festival. We invited friends to share in our fun celebration. After all, the fun of Chinese New Year lies in celebrating with family and friends. We had lots of fun crafts for the kids to make. The girls, and little ones loved these activities. The big boys just wanted to run around outside and goof off. So, we let those who wanted to make of the crafts do so, and the others could do as they wished. We fixed an Asian food lunch complete with chopsticks. It took a bit longer than I had anticipated to get everything ready,so I think the kids were very hungry to say the least. They ate lots of the food (more like inhaled it), and then they were up and out the door. About thirty minutes later, they were back again hoping for the dessert of scrumptious brownies and almond cookies that our friends brought for us to enjoy. We made crafts,shared stories of our trips to China, ate lots and played lots. We just had an all around enjoyable day.
P.S. My "big" boys who were too big to make the crafts.... well they wanted to make them after their friends left. Crazy kids...
