Carter and Andi put together our FHE (we had it tonight because Jefferson and I selfishly went out on a date last night). Carter had received a little American Flag and stand and pamphlet about the flag at school and so they based their FHE around that. Carter picked out some high points from the brochure to share. (did you know they don't fly the American Flag at the White House when the president isn't in Washington DC? Seems a bit unpatriotic and maybe they should fly it anyways to confuse people as to whether he's there or not, like leaving your porch light on when you're out of town). He talked about what the stars and stripes represented and what the colors stand for. I actually learned something new. They also chose our prayer people and picked our songs. We started with "God Bless America," which they both learned in preschool. And then they wrote and performed the closing song all by themselves. It was so cute. Here are the lyrics:
We march in America.
We made the American flag.
We love the American Flag.
Yes we do!
We're so glad we have the American Flag.
And we fighted for our city, yes we did!
Hooray!
They did such a good job! Taytum and I baked cookies and ate them with ice cream for dessert. It was sweet. (the FHE... and the dessert too).
