Outage 1 Week 2

In a way, this was a short week... Jeremy had today off.  And I'm not sure when his next day off is.  But it was nice he had today off.  I was able to go to Book Club, lunch with a friend, and get some shopping done sans kiddos :).

But we've been filling the other days with fun activities!  Here's a re-cap!

Monday we went to Sam's Club for a few things.  Yes, that's a fun activity ;).  Especially when you always end it with a frozen yogurt!

It was also National Angel Food Cake Day :).  I found a website that keeps me up to date with all the weird (and not-so-weird) "holidays" each month, and we've been having so much fun with it!  So, since they didn't have a pre-made Angel Food Cake at Sam's, and since I didn't want to stop anywhere else, I decided to see if I could manage to make home-made ones!  And I did :).  With Raspberry Butter Cream Frosting!  YUM!

We had family night, in which we used the paper bag puppets Lynnaea helped me make earlier in the day to talk about scripture stories of people blessed for choosing the right.  And Corbin made a duck face.  Hahaha.  He also tickled the ivories for us a little bit.  It's his new thing ;).

And then, as our family night treat, we ate our delicious cupcakes!  They were amazing!  Jeremy just loves posing for my crazy pictures....

Tuesday brought story-time fun with Miss Kristin and fire safety week!  Woohoo!  The kids started by shooting out fire.  Then, after a couple stories, they colored fire hats.  Which may or may not have a strong resemblance to a Pope hat (I am unsure of what the official name for it is)...  You decide ;).  By the way, Corbin pretty much hated wearing this.  It was ripped and laying on the floor seconds after this picture was taken.

Wednesday was both National Fossil Day and National Farm Day.  And we lived it up!  It was a FULL day of fun for us.  We started out by making fossil sugar cookies.

We snacked on those yummy cookies while reading The Berenstain Bears: Dinosaur Dig.  Just a fun little way to talk about fossils :).  Then, after nap, we went back to Aplin Farms to celebrate Farm Day!  We went with some friends, so that made it double the fun!

 Corbin and Lynnaea milked pretend cows (Lynnaea's picture didn't transfer over for some reason...).

We rode a tractor (trailer) out to the pumpkin patch and sunflower field.  We got a pumpkin and a sunflower :).  Lynnaea loved posing with her sunflower.  

We did more farm animal petting and then let the kids have fun on the inflatables.  Unlike the Headland Harvest Day, Corbin loved it this time...  He totally got in with the big kids! 

He was beyond proud of himself.  Haha.  And then, of course, we posed for the obligatory picture and then headed home where I made cheese and kale quesadillas.  Which Corbin loved.  And Lynnaea turned her nose up at because of the green.  And I let him hang out on the counter while I cooked.  It was a fun day :).  And now on to new adventures starting tomorrow!
