Yesterday we attended a carnival at the girls' elementary school. It's a great way for the school to raise money and for us to have a fun family event. It beats selling cookie dough and gift wrap too! I think Elissa's favorite game might have been the toilet paper toss, and Kaity definitely enjoyed the animal walk. We found out that Elissa is good at throwing anything (future softball player?) and Kaity is good at hitting things (future hockey player?). The neatest part of the carnival was watching my daughters be so kind to each other. What amazing children they are! Grace intentionally won prizes for her sisters, and Elissa and Kaity won prizes for each other as well. They didn't know that their sisters were winning prizes for them, they were just doing it because they love each other. I was touched by their kindness. Sure, they are sisters and they're going to argue, but they truly love each other and love to show their love by their actions. It was a sweet moment for me!
We continued the sweetness this afternoon by making homemade granola bars. I'd never tried it before, but was inspired earlier this week so I thought I'd give it a shot. They are really yummy, and the girls helped me make them, which made it lots of fun!
