Baking time again

I love this weather.  I love the cool morning and baking to warm up the house.  I know I can just turn the heat on.  But what fun is that!  I love when the kids climb into bed with us to warm up and I get shoved out of the bed.  I head to the kitchen and start baking.  Look at these yummy chocolate chip donuts.

Festival of Horses

Today they had a festival of horses and a parade of horses that rode down Main St.  We had to go because Nicole loves horses so much.  Medieval Times was there.  I keep saying I have to take the kids.  Maybe I can get our girl scout leader to work her magic.  That woman is a amazing with the deals she can get.

 
 
 

 Yes I took my kids to the track.  They had some fake races going.   The kids favorite part was the little petting farm.

 

 
 

Picture Day

I let the kids pick out what they wanted to wear for picture day.  They like dressing up every once in a while.

Visiting the Beach

We found ourselves with nothing on our schedule today so we headed to the beach to do some metal detecting.  Michael pack a lunch for us.  I should have looked in the bag before we left.  I saw him grabbing water and juice but for food he packed Twizzlers and Cheetos. 

We didn't find any treasures but the kids had fun.  Well, Nicole was upset that she couldn't go in the water.  The water was really cold but apparently that doesn't bother her.

Face paiting

Nicole is into face painting now.  The kids went through their band aid faze and their washable tattoo faze.  Now we are on to face painting.  Michael doesn't like it on his face but he likes them on his legs.  Here are a few from the last couple of days.

She wanted to be an angel.  The picture doesn't show it but it is very glittery.

For some reason Michael wanted both a rocket and a comet attacking Saturn.
