We had a fabulous THINKING DAY today. Our country was Hungary. It was not a unanimous decision, and the voting alone nearly put me over the edge - but when they all got to Alice & Francescas today everyone was ready to learn about Hungary. Alices family is from Hungary and she had great knowledge to share- including a fancy poster that they made for the special day. We first made bookmarks inspired by Kolaches designs - embroidery patterns from the country. Then the girls listened to music and watched Hungarian dancing - they even practiced and danced for me at the end of the day so they could be "stars" on YouTube. Then Alice and the girls made Palacsintas. They got to pick out their own filing. They chose between crushed pecans, nutella, strawberries, blueberries, raspberries and whipped cream. Most girls even made two. They were delicious! We were missing Payton & Maddie, so it was too bad they werent able to make it. Toni got to be our helping mom for the day - so special thanks to Toni & Alice!!
