St. Valentine's Day parties

 Teresa & I went to school for the afternoon to be a part of all the fun in Andrew & Rebecca's classrooms.  We hopped back & forth between parties. 
Here are the Kindergartners in an intense game of Valentine BINGO.
The 2nd graders decorated their own cookies & then turned their water pink with drink mix before devouring.  Nice face, Andrew.
 We tried some Minute to Win It games with them.  They balanced lemons on a spoon to race, stacked candy hearts, & this one where they had to move conversation hearts from one plate to the other using chopsticks.  These ladies were really working on technique!  Some of the others just slid the plates closer together & "swept" them over.  Those problem-solving skills are fun to see!
 Speaking of problem-solving, watching the Kindergartners play "Heart Lava" was hysterical!  They had to use two hearts to move across the room without falling off & stepping in "the lava".  Some had a very concise & quick pattern moving in small hops across the room.  Others would whip that heart like a frisbee, taking a flying leap to get there, & then have to stretch out on the floor to get the other one.  Hilarious!

 Cheering on their teammate
 Dancing to Rockin' Robin
 After they danced for a while, they had to line up according to the number on their heart necklace.  They counted by fives all the way to 100!
 The last game we tried with the big kids involved smearing their nose with vaseline & then throwing a fuzzy pompom up in the air to try & catch it on the vaseline.  Lots of giggling involved.
So much fun... so much sugar... so many great friends!
