Okay... the American Girl club has gotten off to bumpy start this year. This is only our 2nd meeting! It's been a rough winter of lots of sick kiddos (and we have lots of kiddos between us...) But, spring is returning, and so are we. But, it's good to be back in the swing of things!
Let me introduce you - we have 7 families total
- 13 American Girls - ages 8-13
- 11 MCA (Masculine Club of Awesomeness... really what else could they call themselves) boys age 10-16
- 7 Half Pints - ages 5-7
- 7 1/2 (another one is soon to join them...) Littles - ages birth to 4
So, it's a bit of a chaotic, wild, crazy and WONDERFUL household everytime we are together!
This month - the American Girls made Yarn Dolls & Homemade Bread and Butter .

The yarn dolls were super cute - the head is made with a ping-pong ball. They used their creativity to personalize them!
Glad we had a bona-fide, home-made bread baker to teach this lesson. I thought it all came from the bread store... It was the most delicious thing I've ever tasted - I'm a believer! Too bad I can't add smell to this post... the pictures just don't do it justice.
The MCA - continued with "Start Here" - and have devised a list of "hard things" to tackle this year, including another fundraising effort for our trip to India. If you missed last year's post - these amazing boys raised $2,000 with a yard sale and survival bracelets to send another family to Haiti on a mission trip! They are "professionals" now... I can't wait to see what God does with them.
Our new group - the Half Pints, are doing a book & activity together. They were ready for more than just free play...but, not quite ready to join the older kids yet.
Our Littles - well, they just play and have the time of their lives!
