We have had a fun filled few weeks, getting into all sorts of events around town and creating some of our own. We participated in the LEGO store opening at our local mall. Here the children built a lego brick to be added to other bricks culminating in an 8 ft tall LEGO Yoda! It was a busy place, but we enjoyed it greatly. I never even knew the complexities involved in the art bricklaying!
Here the "Master Bricklayer" sits by the "Master Yoda" prototype.
For a fun day on street safety, we created box cars and a chalk highway. The children had a car show and then got to follow a map around the streets to pick up items on their list.
Elise's car was a 'toy car' and Josiah's was an ambulance / tow truck.
Micah and Even created 'Lightening McQueen' and 'Doc'.
Janey's was 'just pink and sparkly'.
Here are the kids cruiz'n around.
Micah stops to gas up!
On our last day of school, we had a lemonade stand. Since we first moved here, he has requested to do a lemonade stand and so I said it would be fine if he was the one to do all the planning. He and Elise did a fantastic job deciding what they would need, buying their items, making posters, and serving their customers.
Titus observed in the background with me, and he enjoyed standing with the help of this fence, and eating the moss that was growing on it. Mmmm.
Not only did they sell lemonade ('And it's strawberry, so it doesn't taste bad,' as Josiah said a few times as a selling point.) but they also sold the golf balls that they had dredged up from the surrounding golf course ponds.
Aren't they ambitious? Would you have stopped?
