Harvest Assembly and Bake Sale

Friday was the kid's school harvest assembly in the morning and the bake sale in the afternoon. The harvest assembly is a great time for the kids to learn more about giving and what it takes to grow food...kind of like the U.S. thanksgiving. The school collects food donations and gives it to a local charity. The kids get to sing songs about the harvest and the older kids get to have little skits acting out the harvest. It was fun to watch the assembly. Sofia was very excited about it and kept asking me if I was going to be there. It is the first time that she has really talked up any event. In the afternoon the PTA put on a bake sale. I got there early so I could help set up for the bake sale. Of course in my rush to get out the door I forgot to bring the cookies I had made for the bake sale. Oh well, Jason is happy there are plenty of cookies here for him to eat now. The school bake sales are really more than bake sales. There are games for the kids and face painting and coloring and a little stall selling little trinkets for the kids as well as fruit stalls and card stalls etc. It is a lot of fun to attend. The kids love eating the sweets but they also love having their faces painted. Here are a pictures of the girls during the harvest assembly as well as them with their friends after face painting.
