March 2016

Welcome March! We celebrated with all things Lucky and Green!

Our Sibshoppers giggled as they discovered their Leprechaun name and wrote it on their nametags! Mine is Sappy Sparkly Pants.  What's yours?

 For our trickle in activity, we celebrated the things that make each of us and our sibling with special needs LUCKY! We are all so blessed to enjoy so very much!






We are insanely lucky to have Ingrid as one of our facilitators! She put together the most fun and elaborate treasure hunt we've ever seen at Sibshops.  It included all sorts of unique and fun activities like 'Don't Eat Pete!" and "Roll a 7!" The Sibshoppers were genuinely excited to find their own special treasure at the end of the rainbow!




 The weather was warm enough for us to enjoy getting outside for a bit!  The kids continue to really enjoy playing "Color Guard!"  They are getting better and better at it each time.  It's a fun way to get some exercise and just laugh.  Have them teach it to you and your family!


We took a breather after the game to sit in the sunshine and read a book together. Our Sibshoppers shared some of their own hopes and dreams with one another. 

LUCKY GREEN LUNCH!
Green apples, green grapes, green juice box, green pancakes! What more could you want for a St. Patrick's Day Themed Lunch! Yum!
 Ingrid outdid herself by prepping another awesome and silly game for us! This Lucky Leprechaun Relay was a lot of awesome fun. It was full of sit ups, push ups, wiggly arms, bum spins, running in place, jumping jacks and other silly physical activities!



What a super fun Sibshop! See you in April!  Remember, we will meet on April 16th!
