Party with the First Graders.


Yesterday I went to Kendall's classroom to help out with her holiday party.  The class made gingerbread houses out of graham crackers.  I figured with all of my new experience,   I was perfect for the job.  It was a very good time.  Though I have only had children ages 0-6 thus far, I am pretty certain that 6 is my favorite age.  These kids were fantastic and loads of fun!  Here is Kendall with her finished house.  She ate about half of it on the way home and then complained about a stomach ache.


The kids had so much personality.  There was the boy that built an amazing house.  I had to ask him if he was really a construction worker in disguise.  The only problem is that his house collapsed at the end and he broke out crying.  Only a 6 year old boy could do that and still be considered the "cool kid".  There was the other boy who just sat and drank juice and ate his frosting out of the bag while each of the parents eventually built his house for him.  He seems to have it figured out.  Then there was the girl who basically said to heck with a house, I am going to make some gingerbread appetizers.  She frosted and decorated her graham crackers just like they were sugar cookies.  These kids were smart, capable, imaginative and absolutely hilarious!
