Daisy Gardening Project

Today our Daisy troop headed to Bothin Organic Garden to complete our community action project for our journey. The girls planted rows of lettuce for the girl scout summer camp. The camp will use the lettuce in the kitchen to feed the girls this summer. After we planted we had a picnic lunch and read a story from our journey book and then took a hike to visit the fairies.

Father Daughter Dance

One of our fundraisers for San Ramon this year was the Father Daughter Dance. I signed up Kenzie and Jim to go and they were both very excited. I wasn't allowed to go but the report I got was that Kenzie loved the dancing and wanted to dance to every song. Daddy was also happy to dance and knew all the songs! 

Art & Science Night

Tonight we headed to Mackenzie's school for an art and science night. It was held in the all purpose room and there were stations set up with different activities. We started by visiting Miss Colonna and the top making station. Then we had with spin art and painting flowers. Finn's favorite was the flower print station. He got to use the hammer and smash the flowers onto fabric to make a print. It was fun night for everyone.

 

Time for school!

So its a little old fashioned, but very cute that our school still uses a hand bell to signal the start of school. Today it was Kenzie's turn and she took her job very seriously!

Mismatch Day

This week was spirit week for Kenzie's dance school. Her class was mismatch day. Kenzie had fun coming up with a crazy outfit and accessorizing her hair.

Happy 30th birthday Levi

This year Levi turned 30 and he celebrated with a German themed party. Today Anne and Levi continued the party with us. They showed up in their German attire with ingredients to make pretzels and sausages for a game called " wurst schnappen!" This entailed mini sausages on a string dangling in the air. The object is to try and eat them off the string. A very silly game, but very entertaining to Finn and Kenzie. After all the sausages were gone the kids made pretzels and then we ate a Bavarian feast. We ended the night with what else but...German chocolate cake. Happy Birthday Levi!

Birthday Party Fun

Finnegan got invited to a birthday party today for his friend Kyle. It was a superhero themed party with a batman bounce house. This was the first time Finnegan has gone to a party without us, but luckily we knew a lot of the other families there and he did great. He came home very excited with a big smile and a new cape!
