Lyons and Jedi Warriors

My awesome friend Mandy, who I met while being her EFY counselor "couple" years back, lives in Katy. TX with her cutie husband and 4 kiddies. She dazzled us with a weekend visit and she and her kids (Emily, Kaia, Blake and Taylor) drove up Friday night and spent the night and played all day Saturday. Friday night we ate a yummy dinner then TONS of candy while watching Star Wars. Yes, that is what we call a prefect evening.

The next day we had planned some day trips to Zilker Park, the Childrens Museum, etc. But our kiddies were having such a blost just being together, we just hung around the house and visited while they played.

 

The favorite game was Star Wars where each kid was a Star Wars character and they ran around the house, inside and out, saving the Empire. Emily Lyon is quite possibly Elle's most favorite person in the world because opf her mad Jedi skills. She has since asked every friend she's encountered to play Star Wars, but to her greatest disappointment, no friend has measured up to her divine Emily.

Wazooooo's with Joseph

 Elle was invited to her good buddy Joseph's birthday party at Wazoos. She had so much fun running around and jumping with her friends. SOoo much fun!

HunterEve Picasso

Hunter spent a month learning about Picasso for her Wax Museum assignment. She researched his life, wrote a biography, created a time line poster, a scrapbook poster and and oral presentation. Then, she made a costume to dress like him and share her 1-minute oral presentation during the 4th grade's wax museum when all the 4th graders posed in the 4th grade hall dressed as their research subject. When the visitors to the wax museum would see their exhibit, they could push the student's on "button" and they would come to life and share their 1-minute oral presentation about their subject.

Hunter and I worked for hours and hours and days and days getting her project together. The night before all the finals items were due, we pulled an all-nighter. Poor little exhausted Huntie conked out just before 1AM. It was a good thing because she was so worn out and really needed her rest.
