New Years Eve Party

Today we went to a New Years Eve party at the library.  It started at 11am.  Ms Terry read a long story and talked about New Years resolutions.  Then on to crafts!  Again, there were 4 stations.

 

This one, you had to add up the numbers on the dice in each letter and color it the right color.  This took a long time.  Not because he couldn't count the numbers, but because he was taking a long time trying to stay in the lines of each letter.  A good exercise for him.  But Lexi was antsy.

So I plopped her by our stuff with her Cheerios and sippy cup :)  Which, by the way, she decided she liked sippy cups the other night.  Hooray!!!  And now she can use both the hard tip and the soft tip.  I'm so excited!!!  Now I don't have to worry about her being dehydrated and monitor her intake.  She's already had a cup and a half today :)

The next craft was using 3D glittery glue to make fireworks.  But by the time we got to that table, the glue was about gone and Devan didn't have the patience to squeeze really hard to get it out.  So, we moved on.  Fine by me.

Next, we made our own crown to wear today and tomorrow.  But, Devan didn't want me to write "2013" on it.  So he just took glitter glue and made blobs.  And then did something with the pen.

 

Now, it's almost noon and we're getting ready for the countdown.  Each kid got a handful of confetti.  They did a countdown and threw it in the air yelling "Happy New Year!"  And then everyone got a glass of "champagne" (aka sparkling apple juice).  Devan took one drink and was done.  He didn't like it.  LOL.

 

The last craft was the kid was supposed to write their own resolutions.  But we were on borrowed time with Lexi as it was already past her nap time and she was hungry.  So I told him he could quickly color the picture and we'd take it home.  That satisfied him.  Whew! 

Devan told Ms Terry thank you and she said "Thank you for coming Devan.  Happy New Year.  See you next week at story time!"  Another great event at the library :)
