More May Madness

Kiersten had a party with her Daisy troop last week. We have 12 girls in the troop, and they all had a blast playing together.


They got to decorate goodie bags to take home all of their treats.
Yummy worms in dirt!
We also had a piƱata for them to take a whack at. One of the moms ended up having to bust it open.
My adorable little daisies! Love these girls!
Kiersten was very excited to have earned a prize for selling cookies this year.
On Thursday Evie graduated from the 3's class at preschool. She is excited to be in the big kid class next year.
The kids were so cute singing and a few songs, and reciting their Bible verse.
Evie was so excited for her flowers and teddy bear. (she picked them out herself at the store). She named the bear Cosette, after one of her friends at school. She also got a frog cookie and book from her teacher.
I had 15 minutes to kill before my appointment at the chiropractor, so I took her for a celebratory milkshake.
Later that evening, we went to Kara's robot expo at CCL. It was fun to finally see what she'd been working on this semester. She has absolutely loved their unit on robots. They got to demonstrate the robots they built as a class.
She also got to show off some of her artwork.
The class poster.
This is her robot. It is built out of legos. The kids did all the programming themselves. They named it "Hydrobot", and it's job is to clean up trash in the ocean.

While we were at the CCL, Kiersten wanted to take a picture with her garden. Yesterday was her last day there, and they had a salad party to eat what they had grown this semester. I didn't notice until we got there that Kiersten had worn 2 different shoes, one Mary-Jane and one sneaker. And they were both for the right foot! So she looked slightly ridiculous walking around, silly girl.
On Friday we went to Evie's preschool picnic. She had a blast running around with her little friends. Kiersten didn't have adventure club that morning, so she got to go too. All she wanted to do was sit by her old teacher from last year.

After the picnic, we all went inside to watch Silly Jilly's magic show. The kids just loved it.
We had to leave a few minutes early to get Kiersten to school on time. Evie thought Silly Jilly was pretty hilarious.
Later that evening, Kara had a girl scout field trip to Swing Around Fun Town. They had such a fun time. Now Kara wants her next birthday party there. Not sure how fun it would be in January, though. Kara is in the blue and yellow boat. She and her BFF are both wearing purple. These boats had spray guns, so the girls had a good time spraying each other. One little girl went out over and over. She was shivering and drenched by the time we all left.
These little go-karts were cute. The girls didn't seem too impressed by them. They didn't go very fast, and just had one small loop to drive around. I took Kara on the big go-kart, but no picture, since I was driving with her.
Kara and her friend played 2 courses of mini golf. They were pretty crazy, and I had to go searching in the bushes several times when they hit their balls way too hard.
There is also a large indoor arcade. They all got 10 tokens to use. They also had bumper cars inside that the girls could go on as many times as they wanted.
It was a super fun activity.
Kiersten went to a birthday party at Bounce U this weekend, so I had to get a few pictures. She had a great time, and was telling me on the way home how lucky she is to have so many friends.

Wow, it seems like you have a really busy schedule. It must be so much fun watching the girls do different activities. The two different shoes that Kiersten wore was really funny.
