Yesterday we met Kara and Christian and Parker at Grandma Anne's house for a Valentine's Day party. We love being there so much! We stayed for 6 hours.
First we had pizza for lunch.
Then we made valentines out of little foam sticky things that Kara brought.
Then we acted out the 3 Billy Goats Gruff over and over. Christian and his grandma have done this together before. It's part story and part obstacle course with a bridge to cross, a mountain to climb, a tunnel to crawl through, a rope to cling to, a river (blue fabric) to swim through, and a ladder on the floor to maneuver through. The kids loved it. The first time Anne popped up to ask who was on her bridge to Noel, Noel freaked. After that she was ready and put her hands on her hips and told the troll she was the mama goat and that that troll was NOT allowed to eat her. It was cute and assertive and a little bossy.
Throughout the afternoon, the girls would go with Christian in the pantry and come out laughing and screaming.
We did pilates on the equipment downstairs.
We made sugar cookies.
We talked about technology and nutrition. (That was the grown-ups.)
We read stories.
We loved it. How good to us is Grandma Anne!
