Luau day at PSE!

Well the girls made it great through their first week back to school after surgery - the eating was hit or miss but they seemed to be really glad to be back with their friends! For those of you who missed the craziness, both girls had tonsils and adenoids taken out on July 20th - they were way enlarged in both girls and causing sleep issues, amongst other things... Probably crazy to do both girls at one time, but that way they were on the same diet and both taking medicine at the same time - misery loves company, right?

So last week we studied Hawaii in Discovery, and for our Fun Friday last week we had Luau Day! Now this is right up my alley as i LOVE Hawaii, so we had a lot of fun last week! We studied volcanoes, ate pineapple and coconut, and tried to make leis and grass skirts! :P On Fridays everyone dresses up for the theme of the day, and you should have seen how many kids showed up in grass skirts and coconut tops (over their clothes I have to add!)...
I actually let Kenna get her face painted - just a 'little' hibiscus on the cheek :) (She's allergic to face paints, but it seems tempera paint is just fine!) Kenna with friends on the playground...
Chapel time - check out some of the crazy outfits!

And the final ceremonies of the day - the volcano explosion! Sort of sad the small volcano we built for such a big explosion! Diet Coke, red food coloring, and mint Mentos - wow! the kids loved it... :)
