after seeing an incredible idea from another ward in our stake, we as a primary presidency extended a challenge to our primary children, asking them to create poppies and decorate their mail boxes with them for this unexpected anzac day.
there has been a driveway at dawn movement created, asking for those who would have attended a dawn service, to instead go to the end of their driveway with a candle and listen to the last post, which was broadcast over multiple stations.
after seeing this amazing egg carton wreath idea on my friend kate's early childhood activity page, i decided we needed to make one of our own to hang on our letterbox, so we got to work! it was so easy to make (did the old use what you have trick haha) and looked super cute when it was done.
i also had the kids painting poppies and decorated out the front of our house with them ready for tomorrow.
anzac day is going to be different, but the reason we commemorate remains the same. to remember those who gave their tomorrows, for our today.
the shall grow not old, as we who are left grow old
age shall not weary them, or the years condemn
at the going down of the sun and in the morning, we will remember them
lest we forget.
