Today was the Stone Soup meal at Keagan's school and parents were invited. Ever heard of the Stone Soup story? I had, but couldn't remember...Josh had not. Luckily, they refreshed my memory and enlightened Josh with a synopsis of the Stone Soup story:
Some travellers come to a village, carrying nothing more than an empty cooking pot. Upon their arrival, the villagers are unwilling to share any of their food stores with the hungry travellers. So the travellers go to the neck of the stream and fill the pot with water, drop a large stone in it, and place it over a fire. One of the villagers becomes curious and asks what they are doing. The travellers answer that they are making "stone soup", which tastes wonderful, although it still needs a little bit of garnish to improve the flavour, which they are missing. The villager does not mind parting with carrots to help them out, so it gets added to the soup. Another villager walks by, inquiring about the pot, and the travellers again mention their stone soup which has not reached its full potential yet. The villager hands them a little bit of seasoning to help them out. More and more villagers walk by, each adding another ingredient. Finally, a delicious and nourishing pot of soup is enjoyed by all.
The one year old room was in charge of bringing tomato soup.
It was fun to eat lunch with Keagan and his friends, although he didn't much care for the Stone Soup! He also wasn't a big fan of his turkey hat...which got a leg ripped off right after these pics were taken.
One of Keagan's friends, Reece, was fascinated by my camera and kept squealing every time I showed him a picture of himself!
Dancing dancing dancing...notice that he's surrounded by girls! He's a Ladies' Man! :)
After lunch Keagan wanted to show off the toys in the room...he was pretty wound up! We had to leave him to try and take a nap after that. I felt bad for the teachers, a bunch of parents stirred the up the kids then left!! (none of the kids slept, apparently!)
