10 April 2011 - Primary Activity

The weather has been more spring-like this week -- it only snowed three out of seven days.  On Saturday it was a nice 61 degree day which gave me a chance to spread two cubic yards of mulch in our flower beds and on our trees.  My lower back is still sore.

Saturday was also a primary activity for the girls.  I thought the presidency did a really cool idea.  Unfortunately, I don't have a lot of pictures because I spent most of the morning out doing bishoply stuff.

The activity was a drive-in movie.  The kids started off by getting together with their class and planning a skit.  Each class was assigned a story from the scriptures and their skit had to depict that story.  Once they had their parts and their lines, the went into the "studio" and they were filmed performing their skit.  From there, they went into the gym and got a cardboard box and made a car to drive to the drive in.

You can't see it in this picture, but there was white tape down both sides of the hallways and yellow tape down the middle, sometimes two stripes, some times one dashed stripe, so the hallways looked like a road.  Well, from my observation, the girls thought it was a road and the boys thought it was a race track.
Judging from the size of Jessica's car, this was likely her last primary activity (she turns 12 in August).

The kids drove their cars to the primary room movie theater, where their skits had been deftly (and rapidly) assembled into the premiere event.  They found shoe boxes with popcorn, juice boxes and M&Ms for them to clip onto the side of their cars using binding clips.  Although I didn't get to see the final product, I'm told it will be nominated for and Oscar next spring.

The girls still haven't tired of cupcake making.  Here are some of Joanne's fresh flowers and some marshmallow cupcakes.

Grass is turning green, and warmer weather is in the forecast.  Soon will be lawn mowing season.
