Origami

We set off on our origami experience with high expectations. We had  200 sheets of origami paper in every color you could imagine. I suggested making a crane first, but Lilia and Franky were thinking along the lines of tortoise and panda. No, how about a dinosaur!? We made hearts. Turns out, origami is not so easy, at least for someone like myself. I should have remembered the fear I experienced in math class trying to fold papers into shapes and fraction strips. All of my classmates would effortlessly fold those tiny papers the correct way while I sweated and tried to copy off of the person next to me. So yeah, that person tried origami today. The hearts actually turned out to be fun once we got the hang of it. Even Franky sat patiently as I helped him fold his. Lilia decided they would be great Valentines and wrote "I love you" on hers. I'll have to keep that in mind for next year. You can make your own hearts by following the directions here. We still have plenty of paper, so my next goal is to make a dinosaur eating a tortoise while chasing a panda. Stay tuned.
