Today, we had our Poetry Power meeting at my house. We learned how to write a Japanese poem called a tanka. However, I don’t think our minds were really into poetry that much, because it is almost Christmas, and we were looking forward to making some cookies. We frosted and decorated Holiday Cut-outs, learned how to make Stained Glass Windows, made Peanut Blossoms, put the final coat of powdered sugar on some Russian Teacakes, baked some Chocolate Crinkles and dusted the Thumbprint cookies with powdered sugar before adding the jelly to them. Most of the boys weren’t really interested in making cookies(they did fine on the eating part 🙂 ), so they played in the backyard. Afterwards, all the kids went in the backyard and played dodgeball while the moms visited. All in all, it was a good time. Here are a few pictures of the days’ activities. Thanks again to all the moms who helped me out greatly!
