Last week the kids had VBS, but k got sick on Thurs. morning so she missed out on the last two days. I didn’t think she should go to the Friday evening program so we stayed home and watched the Opening Ceremonies.
For our London-themed meal we had fish (from Costco) and chips.
We set up our couch for our viewing area. Red, white and blue pillows and blankets. I like how the Ikea Manstad turns into one big chaise. We told the kids they could sleep there on Friday night.
Let the Games begin!
Good thing they fell asleep right before the part with the scary storybook characters/creepy baby.
We also created a medal count board. It is good for numbers practice.
The first Olympics I can remember is 1984 when L.A. hosted. I remember doing coloring sheets with the Eagle mascot. Hopefully k will have good memories too! This is n’s first Olympics, which I don’t think he will remember. It was actually during the Beijing Opening Ceremony party we had for my mom’s birthday that we announced that I was pregnant with n. I <3 the Olympics!
