Great 8



How did we get to eight so quickly? Maddie continues to be such a lovely girl. Joyous, helpful, and loves everything.

Eight brought us a Valentine's Day craft party. Get ready for some pink!
Maddie, Amelia, Edie, Isabel, Ashley, Louisa, Avery and Taraneh


Theo hanging out


Maddie was a bit concerned about the boys infringing on her party space, so she brought down Gabriel's table. The girls started here with special Maddie word searches.


Next up, making Valentines.



Decorate a heart contest.



Theo was the judge. Nathan gave him tips on how to properly judge seven and eight year old girls' work. He looked at both hearts and said, "That one is so beautiful." and "That one is so pretty." The girls stared at him and then asked, "Well, wish one is best?" He gulped and said, "I like this one best." And the non-winners were not so pleased!


Next up, making felted heart pins. The girls were very excited to "sew" the hearts and button together. They looked so cute in their pink t-shirts with pins.


Soap making - a very fun craft.


Cookie decorating (and eating).






Happy Birthday Maddie! From your color coordinated family (Maddie dressed the boys in the morning!).
