Aside from the petting zoo field trips, a lot has been happening at FHS... many things thanks to Linda's creativity!

She taught the kids how to make butter using cream, a pinch of salt, and shaking the tar out of some ziploc bags! It was pretty funny to watch the unique ways the kids would try to shake up the butter...

And I've personally never found so much enjoyment out of playdough! I am sure I enjoyed playing with it as a kid--I really loved the peanut butter playdough my mom used to make!--but watching these kids make all kinds of cute creatures was so much fun! I was really impressed by their creativity. See for yourself...

We had a birthday party not too long ago for Hilde (on the left below). Hilde is sponsored by my friend Kim and her family. Kim mailed a package filled with birthday goodies for Hilde and her friends... sunglasses, books, markers, candy, and more! I'd say this was a birthday Hilde won't soon forget, and all the other kids were so excited that they also received so many fun gifts! Thanks, Kim!

I'll close with a photo of Disco Queen Elizabeth! She wanted me to take a photo of her afro, and I agreed under the condition that she would let me pose her! I thought this was appropriate. ;)
