Thankful booklet

Published on by nonnativemommyLeave a comment

This year I wanted to make something special for the girls to make them feel grateful for all those people, experiences and fun they’ve had during the year. So I decided to make them a book of thanks.

I needed some coloured construction paper and some pictures of important people, places, happenings that I printed and glued on the half-cut A4 sheets. I also laminated the pages for durability. I punched the upper corners and used a scratch book clip to hold them together. I also added some notes for E. to read.

Both of them appreciated the booklet and we talked a lot about the pictures.

I hope in the future we can add some extra pages to collect all the amazing things in their lives.

Happy thanksgiving!

Halloween party 2017

Published on by nonnativemommyLeave a comment

Our Helen Doron school organised a Halloween party at the weekend before Halloween. As a whole family we were invited.

Little L. grew into E.’s old skeleton costume. E. wanted to become a spider (she’s been into creepy-crawlies recently, which is clearly the influence of her new kindergarten friends). I made her spider costume out of things we found at home. E. also helped a lot make it. Daddy borrowed a wizard‘s cape, and I made myself into a witch (this was the easiest after having put the skeleton PJs on Little L.).

We fooled around at home a bit in our costumes and headed to our Helen Doron School party.

As usual, there were some yummie and scary treats,

…a spooky room, where the kids could touch a BRAIN!

Our teachers read our minds and dressed up as E. and L.:

 

There was a crafty session as well. Little L couldn’t really take part in it, I made her haunted castle, but E. did her best.

We also made some slime, without which Halloween could be unimaginable. Thank Goodness (and Helen Doron Teachers), we didn’t have to do it at home.

We had fun … again and again. Thanks a million!

And I wonder what costume E. can challenge me with next year.
