3-24-07 - Playing Games with Uncle C

Moo's favorite part of today was playing games with us (mom and dad) and Uncle C. and his friend. We played Apples to Apples and Sequence.

3-23-07 - Easter!

When I asked Moo about her favorite part of 3-23, Easter Day, she said, "Easter!" When I asked which part, she replied, "Easter!" I guess that means the whole day and nothing but the whole day. In the morning, she reveled in her visit from the Easter Bunny. Two Webkinz - one from the bunny and one from us - were in her basket, along with the movie "Enchanted" and some candy. Next we went to church, where she got to sit with us instead of going to her class. Leaving church was inspiring as well. The parking lot was full, so full that we had to wait awhile to get out. We had carpooled with friends, so the wait was pleasant, as we discussed how great it was to have so many people hearing the Easter message. The day continued by eating with our friends and their parents (who got Moo another Easter basket) and attended the egg hunt in town. After the egg hunt, J and I played games with our friends as Moo and her friend played and then popped popcorn in an old-fashioned popcorn machine. A whole day with family and friends! No wonder she couldn't pick one favorite part!

3-17-08 - Playing Video Games with Dad

Moo's favorite part of today was playing video games with Dad. They played "Star Wars" and "King Kong."

3-1-08 - Dave and Busters

Going to Dave and Buster's is a favorite for our whole family. This time we took Grandma C. and she loved it too. Moo and I played "Deal or No Deal" and the coin machines. Grandma C. and J. won lots of toys from the claw machines, including a huge pink boxing glove from the HUGE claw machine. Moo walked out with a soccer ball, a night light, some play make-up, and some candy, along with a mini Care Bear and a soccer ball for her baby cousin. We ended the evening going to Luchita's and having a great Mexican meal with her Aunt B. and baby cousin. Such a fun treat!

2-27-08 - Art Class - alphabet animals

Moo's favorite part of today was art class. They used the alphabet to create animals. Her picture has a spider made with an "O," a butterfly with a "B," and another butterfly with the letter "i." I'm not sure what the blue thing is, but I do know that it's made with the letter "f"!

2-26-08 - Building a snowman

Moo's favorite part of Tuesday was building a snowman. The snow was not rolling well, so we had to pile it up and then carve out the head and abdomen. We used a flower pot for his hat and ello construction parts for the facial features and buttons. Twigs and glove finished off his arms. Hot chocolate and Girl Scout cookies finished up our snowy day afternoon. I must admit this was my favorite part of the day too!

2-24-08 - Making Rice Krispy Treats

We have a LOT of Girl Scout cookies in the house right now, but I was in the mood for Rice Krispy treats. So I had Moo help me make some. Even though they came out kind of dry, making them was Moo's favorite part.
