Bingo and Bugs for Seniors

We headed back to the senior center this week; this time with big sis in tow. Read about our previous visits here and here.

Megan had been feeling a little left out as Lucy had been talking about how much she liked going to the senior center and mingling with the older folk. I knew Megan would love it too and thought this was a justifiable reason to be a few hours late for first grade last Thursday. Megan's teacher agreed and it was a go!

I let the girls plan what they wanted to do and that included whipping up a giant batch of monster cookies, creating these adorable magnetic love bugs that we had first made a couple of years ago, and making some homemade Valentines.

The weather was clear and beautiful so that meant record seniors at the center. The seniors remembered and greeted Lucy and Max. Megan didn't allow herself to be a stranger and went around reciting the Valentine poems she had written. With Megan there, I noticed that Lucy tended to hang back a bit more and be more of an observer. I am glad we went and took Megan, but am comfortable continuing to let this be Lucy's special project.
