263.305

We LOVED this city project idea!!!
Today Madi...and all the other 3rd graders...turned in their businesses to be put together into a city.
This evening we went and saw them all put together into a very large city.
Seriously...this is such a fun idea.
Each kid made a business at home...but in class they each made a home to be displayed into neighborhoods.
Such a fun idea!!!
Madi's station turned out great...
Let me preface...parental help was required!!!
Although the ideas were all Madi's, the hot glue-ing and hard stuff was left to Mom and Dad.
My favorite?...the flag she painted on some paper.
See how it is waving in the wind!
Here are some shots with it in the city.
The little yellow house is the house Madi created in class.
Pretty stinkin' cute!!!
Just one street of the city that was laid out all over the gym floor.
************************************************
And I just had to post this...
Cassi got home from school and wanted to make lunch for Cassi and I.
I think she wanted to make something special because today Brent went to school and had lunch with Madi and then helped score points with Madi in the run/walk club.
So Cassi wanted something special for us.
First she told me to go into the office and not to come out.
When she finally had me come out...she had this waiting for me.
Tablecloth and everything.
She said she couldn't think of anything to make so she got some apples out and put a plate of Ritz crackers in the center of the table.
Oh, and filled our cups with Root Beer.
Such a little sweetheart!
