K is for Kite

Our book for the week was The Kite Festival. I searched through many books to find a book about kites and found a winner. It's the story of a boy who picks a spot on a map for the family to drive and have a day picnic. The town they end up in is having a kite festival. Without a kite of their own, the family uses materials they do have to build their own kite, such as band-aids from the car's first aid kit. We enjoyed the book very much. Some rainy weather postponed us from any kite flying but eventually (a week later) we flew our own kites in celebration of K week. Ironically, it was at our friend's birthday party - the Krusiewicz family! We ran into K's everywhere!
K week also involved a lot of K foods. There are not many foods that begin with K but Andrew felt challenged when I told him Kiwi is the only K food. He found some unique K foods. We did eat Kiwi (a favorite fruit in this house.)And then we made our own homemade kettle corn. This was easier than I thought but wow, that's a lot of sugar! We enjoyed our kettle corn outside to avoid the sticky mess :)And finally, we made Kix bars. It's simply melted chocolate chips and peanut butter and then add in Kix, Cheerios, and peanuts, and refrigerate. They were yummy but we decided rice crispies make a better cereal bar since they're smaller.There were many other random K references this week. We watched Kung Fu Panda after I had oral surgery and just needed to do nothing but lie in bed! And finally, to wrap up our week, we had a visit from the Keenans! Stephen and Adam had a great time playing. Yea, for the letter K!
