P-A-R-T-Y!

The girls have been in a summer program 3 days/week each summer since Sidney was born. It's a slight break from school but enough structure to keep them on track with discipline, fun and building relationships. Today the program held their annual summer celebration with music, food and of course more fun! 
It was a Hawaiian theme and we joked last night that they were going to have a pig roast...unearth a pig in front of a crowd of 2-6 year olds. 
Thankfully they did not. 
Regan's favorite teacher, Miss Katie, does everything 100%. 
"Bright colors" was the theme.....she did well (rocking out to Kidz-Bop):
 I took my hand at stenciling  face painting butterflies and flowers onto the girls' cheeks. 
 And both girls made lei's out of cut straws and paper flowers. They proudly sported those lei's all night!
 The girls really excel in this program. The friendships they have created are like no other. I'm amazed that sweet Sidney has a group of friends she prefers to be with (and that she tells me who is her boyfriend as well as that of her BFF). Regan has been on more field trips than I could have ever imagined! From building their own burgers at Fuddruckers, to a behind the scenes look at Cub Foods to having a blast at local parks and  discovering indoor adventure lands. She really loves going on these big-kid trips and we love having her experience them all while learning as much as her mind can soak in.
