Court of Honor

Ethan had to Bob for apples as initiation for getting his Bobcat.



It was a little more tricky than he thought it would be!!

Gilbert Riperian Preserve

Saturday was a fun one! Jameshad a hankerin' for some Old Country Buffet breakfast so that's where we went.



Can I say that I think that is the most food that I have ever seen my kids eat anywhere!



(Beehive) Then we made a stop at Half Price Books and scored is a nice pile of books.



Then, we went to the Raperion Preserve. It was beautiful and overcast the whole time.



The boys had fun, but Eva had a huge case of the whines today.



For dinner I had a hankering' for some sushi but since I can't get anyone to go with me I had to settle for mediocre sushi at a buffet. Definitely as good but quelched my craving.



Good times! I loves me my fam and the time we get to spend together!

School

The kiddo's are doing well in school so far.  Eva had a hard time the first week adjusting to new kids and a classroom.  She is doing much better this week.  She is making friends and having fun! The boys are doing great too! They received homework this week and are doing great!

Cloud Dough

Thank you Pinterest! I found this recipe for cloud dough. It's not like playdough. It's like wet sand but softer.



Cloud dough is crumbly like sand but can stick together when pressed.

The recipe called for 8 cups flour and 1cup of baby oil. I used the recommended flour but upped the oil to 1 1/2 c. It may depend on how dry/humid your area is.

The kiddos loved it!!

(the plastic containers are the lids from disposable aluminum trays)
