Booing

I don't have a picture for this one, but for one of our activity days, we made some boo bags.  I thought this would be a fun service project.  I was able to pick up some little halloween colored cloth bags for 4/1.00 at Michael's and also a big container of sticky foam halloween shapes.  They decorated the bags, made a card, and then we filled them with candy and little halloween treats I picked up at Target, sticky hands, pencils, spider rings.  We then left a goody bag for each house in our cul-de-sac.  The girls were very giggly and had a great time going out on their stealth missions!  They all took a bag home to boo someone in their neighborhood.  It was a fun time!

Activity Days

So one of my new callings is the Activity Days leader!  I am so excited to work with these great girls.  For our first activity last week, we had an Unbirthday Party!  I made this cute little bunting for the sheet cake I picked

We also played the white elephant present game.  I just picked up several things from the dollar store.  And we also played hot potato.  That one is always a hit!  Why is it so nerve wracking to think that you will end up holding the object when the music stops?  It was a fun way to start off the year and we also sang to Ellie, since her birthday was just two days away.  We passed out calendars and a parent letter and then played duck,duck, goose until time to go.  I think I sent everyone home on a sugar high!  Hopefully, they crashed as soon as they got home and went to bed!
