Today we had our Family Book Club Dinner for The Cricket in Times Square by George Selden. First we made crickets, the kids had a lot of fun with this.
Carter Cricket and Dawson cricket
Boy, were we spoiled with treats! We had Italian deserts in honor of the Bellini's: pizelles, biscotti and gelato. The kids liked all the deserts!
For our meal we had Strawberry soda pop (dye free, of course) roast beef sandwiches (what trapped Chester the cricket) and some Chinese dishes: pork dumplings and veggie fried rice. A weird mishmash of a meal, but tasty nonetheless. The kids enjoyed the roast beef sandwiches and deserts the most.
We had such a good discussion, and it became very clear that Ava really enjoyed and paid close attention to this book. She was answering all the questions, which she made sure to point out to her brothers. We also watched a you tube video of a boy buying tickets for the subway, riding the subway and going to Times Square. This was helpful, because the kids really had no idea about these types of experiences. Another fun afternoon with my favorite kiddos!!
Love the crickets. Wished I could be there for some of the fun. Love my little grands. Meme
