With the winter Olympics kicking off, I decided to spend our preschool time giving Sawyer a quick run-down since hubby and I will probably be watching as much of them as we can. We’re a little competitive so watching amazing athletes bring home the gold for the USA is right up our alley.
As part of our learning experience, we made a torch and a medal – gold, of course.
She then proceeded to perform an ice skating routine…
We awarded her the gold, obviously!
Since she was so excited about the Olympics themselves, I dug around in the pantry and made a little spread for our watch party.
I remember my mom making my brother and I “party trays” for events like this. It wasn’t ever anything elaborate…just some lunch meat and cheese and crackers and maybe some relishes or veggies…but we got to eat them on little glass party sets and that made all the difference!
Sawyer was equally excited about our little make shift party of sorts and she LOVED watching the snowboarding trials. She thought those girls were pretty cool… I have to admit that I enjoy the summer games more than the winter, but now that football season is over, I’ll take what I can get.
Happy watching and go USA!
You are SUCH an amazing mom! If I can be even half the mom you are, Eva will turn out great. Love you and miss you so much! How have we gone this long without touching base?!
Oh, Dessa – you are too kind! Eva WILL turn out great, this I know! I’ve already seen you in action – you are a WONDERFUL momma. And? If you’ll recall, I’ve said on numerous occasions that when I grew up I wanted to be like Tredessa Rhoades…so right back at ya!
