August had a Birthday Party at our house last Friday night. He had two friends over for three hours of playing, eating pizza and a Coldstone Ice cream Cake, watching movies and running around. It was the party he wanted and a great way to celebrate turning EIGHT!
August also had a big heritage project and presentation due on Tuesday. We chose to research the German portion of his heritage, since it is the one we seem to know the most about. Plus, his name was from that side of his heritage, and Schaal also comes from there. We made a clothespin doll, a map of the location and portion of his family tree, and prepared apple strudel for his classmates to sample. His presentation was on Tuesday, and the girls and I enjoyed sitting in for it, and hearing some of the other kids present as well. I feel he learned a lot from the project, and gained some public speaking experience.
Another Birthday party....
On Monday Matthew chose three friends to take to Sky High, which is an indoor trampoline jump zone, followed by pizza and cake at Round Table. It was the perfect party to celebrate turning ELEVEN!!
Happy Birthday to both my boys...I love you both so much!!
