Friday Theme Parties

We've been in Utah playing with family and having a great time! While staying with Michelle (James' sister) we got to enjoy one of her traditions. They always have a theme party on Fridays. The first one we enjoyed was shapes and the second one was inventions. During their shape party they enjoyed cutting out shapes, playing musical shapes, doing crafts with shapes and cutting shapes out of brownies. It was great fun!

The invention party was pretty awesome as well . . . they started by inventing their own sandwiches. Michael the traditionalist had pb and honey while Jacob had a sandwich with turkey, raisins, tuna fish, mayonnaise, cheese and peanut butter. All of his favorite things in one fabulous sandwich! And yes, he ate the whole thing! Then, they made inventions out of blocks. Michael made a flying contraption and Joshua managed to make a block shape that looked exactly like a llama. Amazing! Then, we gave them just a big pile of craft items to invent with and just let them at it. Michael made a kite, Ella made binoculars and Joshua made a florescent sculpture that bounced--the bouncing part was most important to him! We were most impressed by all of their creations. We ended the day with Meet the Robinsons--a fitting movie if you ask me.

But no party would be complete without some great dancing which took place later that night watching Kung Fu Panda! It has been great fun. We may have to incorporate Friday theme parties at home!
