Sorry I could not be there today. I was not well and it was Aria's birthday and she wanted to sleep in.
I have some good books about spring, and also red and pink construction paper. How much do you need?
This sounds like a fun day.

I need enough to make bunny ears for each kid. So, if they are the 11x14 sheets, maybe 12 white and 8 pink (I am overshooting a bit, but I want to make sure I have enough).
What Spring books do you have? I need to go to the library, but if you have a cute one I would love to use it! Thanks!!
I have a fan I can bring. Sounds like a fun day.
Ariane,
Do you want me to cut out the ears for you?
I have a kite, if Kristin has a fan. Do you need one?
