Morning song circle at Koloa Early School.On her birthday, Kate got her turn to be the "happy snack leader" and bring "share and tell" for the first time. When it came time to sing "Mixin up a batch of birthday cake", Kate got a little shy. Thank goodness she had Grandma with her... Grandma flew in for Kate's birthday week and joined her for song circle.
That evening after school, we gave Kate her very own set of flippers. She completely blew me away by putting them on and immediately swimming the entire length of the pool by herself. By the next day, Kate was diving for toys at the bottom of the pool with Ellie!
Coincidentally (or not), Kate had decided upon a mermaid theme for her 4th birthday party. She invited 4 little girls from school and their families to her "sea castle". What a great time! For lunch the girls had "Octopus on a bun" (turkey dogs cut to show 8 legs) and "Shells with seaweed and sand" (Pasta shells with pesto and parmesan).
After lunch they had cake which Kate decorated herself.
Then they found a secret pirate message and deciphered clues to the hidden treasure ("to find the treasure you must be brave and willing to enter the pirate cave"). The treasure hunt was the highlight for me... the girls all screamed when they opened the box and found the "jewels".
The grand finale was an impromptu hula show. What a great day!
