Odds and Ends

Sorry for the lack of posts! I have been keeping busy with all kinds of Christmas festivities, end of the school year parties, and family get togethers. Chris's sister, Camie came into town with her husband, Mike and daughter, Calla. She is so stinkin' cute and such a good baby. It has been fun to spend time with them (especially the shopping!). Pictures to come. I am excited for Christmas and hope everyone has a very merry one. 

We had a Christmas PJ party at school. This was the highlight of the year for some of these students! You would have thought I was telling them they could run the school for the day. We made really cute reindeer door hangers, played Christmas memory, ate lots of food, made gift bags, and played some other fun Christmas games.

One girl brought her stuffed animal and decided he needed to wear her crocs. She had already changed into her slippers!

Gotta love the Iron Man pajamas

This was a YW activity where they had to stand on one leg and pick up a paper bag using only their mouth. The ones that get it stay in for the next round where inch by inch the bag is torn down lower. Yes, more PJ's!

This is actually the beginning of the game.

Another fun game with the YW. Chris and I have played this game at couple's parties. You put an orange in one leg of the panty hose and tie the other leg around the waist. You have to "thrust" (sorry for the word :) your hips forward to hit the other orange across room and back. It is a relay game.

We did a static electricity science experiment that the students thought was really fun. We only popped about 4 balloons and only 2 students lost "experiment privileges".  Overall it was a success. Now all I have to do is explain how it works. Yay.
