We started out by making spy journals. I gave the kids each a stack of about 5 sheets of plain white paper. They folded them in half, making a book, and we stapled it. Then they decorated them however they wanted. I wish I had taken a picture, because they were really cute! Then we played I Spy, you know the game where someone says "I spy with my little eye, something that is__________" and everyone has to guess what it is. We actually played I Spy while we ate dinner.
For dinner, we did tomato sandwiches. Savannah was thrilled since tomatoes are her favorite food. The rest of us were not so thrilled, so I cheated and did BLTs for Michael and I and just a bacon sandwich for Lincoln, who hates tomatoes and lettuce. We had grapes on the side, because that was the only fruit or veggie I could come up with to put with a character's name. For our drink we had Sport's Sprite, which was really just regular Sprite. I wanted to do spiral cookies for desert, but I didn't like any of the recipes I found online, so I improvised. I started out with a sugar cookie mix, and mixed it according to directions. I took half out, and added a jello pack to the other half, making it green and lime flavored. Then I rolled them both out, stacked them, rolled them together and sliced the cookies. Some of them I rolled the edges in sprinkles, but I ended up not liking them that way and left the rest non-sprinkled.
