McKenzie's Valentine's Box

Focused!
Using up every space

The finished product!


McKenzie started to decorate her Valentine's Day box tonight for school. She is very excited to send her Valentine's to school for her friends. I wrapped her box for her and cut the hole for the cards to slide in but everything else was all McKenzie! She was very intense tonight and focused. It was so cute to see her care so much about the presentation of her box. I couldn't help but take a couple of photos of her very stickered box! I am enjoying her so much these days. I never thought I could learn so much from a 7 year old!!

Friday was a busy day! Every year McKenzie's school has a carnival to raise money for the PTA. Its is crazy, fun and LOUD!! But..the kids enjoy it and we always have a fun time. McKenzie entered the twinkie contest that was themed Leisure Park 500, Race to the Carnival. Rules are simple. You have to at least use one twinkie and everything you use has to be edible..oh, and it has to fit on a paper plate. This year McKenzie won 2nd place for the second graders!! She was very excited to win! Her title was Kenzie and Hannah racing.

Also, to kick off reading month the students have a Hat day...Hat's off to Reading. You are supposed to pick a word and make a hat using that word you pick. McKenzie's word was Heart. Friday was National Wear Red Day..supporting Heart Disease. We have had many friends and family affected by this disease and support it dearly! Since Kenzie was already planning her red shirt (with a heart on it) she picked the word Heart for her hat!

I enclosed all the pictures from our crazy Friday!!!
