Kindergarten Carnival

Last Monday Sydney's Kindergarten celebrated Fasching (Carnival).  Sydney has been excited and asking every day since the invitations went home if it's Fasching yet.  I was asked to help out and make waffels with another mom for the kids party so Ashlyn got to tag along.  She loved actually getting to go into Kindergarten. Normally she just sees everyone as we drop off and pick up Sydney.

 Here are some of the pictures from the party as the kids arrived and showed everyone their costumes.

Fasching Party

Last Saturday we went to a Faschings (Carnival) Party for the kids. The party was really well organized. The kids all travelled though time. There was even a time machine tunnel to bring them to the various locations.The locations were: the Garden of Eden, Indians and Cowboys, Knights, the Future, a visit with Cinderella, and then the party ended with a disco in the 70s. 

Time Tunnel

Between every location they travelled through the tunnel to their new destination.

Garden of Eden

There were 3 different games here, but the apples were the only interesting thing for Ashlyn.

Cowboys and Indians

The kids could make Indian headbands with feathers here, but they had no interest in this or the hobby horse races.

Knights

Sydney played basket ball with tape boulders into the castle.  Syd sunk every boulder.

Cinderella

 

This is the Grimm Brother's Cinderella where Cinderella's evil step-mother threw the lentils into the ashes so Cinderella would miss the ball seeing as she had to sort the good from the bad ones.  The kids had to sort the colors here, Syd loved it.  Ashlyn not so much, but she did go and get some more apple.

The Future

Here the kids put a robot together and played with the different space balls.

Disco

 The girls loved the disco, both danced and had a blast even when they didn't know the dances.

Happy Birthday Ben!

Happy 1st Birthday Benny!! We wish we could be there to celebrate with you.  Enjoy your cake we look forward to the birthday pictures.  Love you big guy!

First Snowfall

On Jan. 31st we got our first snowfall this winter.  Sydney and her 2 friends (Alara and Andrian) were so excited when they left Kindergarten.  They made snow angels, rolled in the snow, ate the snow, and threw snowballs. It normally takes 20 minutes to get these 3 home from Kindergarten, but it took us close to an hour that day.  Who knew that snow was so exciting?

Canada Holiday Update

I do realize that we've been back for almost a month and still haven't posted about our time in Canada.  So here are pictures from the various activites.
