Spring Break Day 5

Katie rode her bike and hung out with some of the neighbor girls.  She loves nerd glasses.

Ian and Brian went to see the Lorax.  Brian decided to bring another boy home.  In Ian's words "I demand a haircut."  He wanted it short, like Dad's.

Then the children went to Amachi's and Appachen's for a sleepover.  They went to the Mall again!

Brian and I first made a stop at Penzey's .  We were running low on a number of herbs and spices as you can see.  Please check Penzey's out, they are all over the country or you can order online. Then we went to Tavern on Grand for walleye, it was good.  The restaurant was very busy, I suppose for Lent. Then we walked up and down Grand Ave., we stopped into a lot of different shops  Then we stopped at Grand Ole Creamery.  I got a waffle cone with coffee break ice cream (coffee ice cream with crushed oreos...yum!

Well, that was our spring break for 2012.  It was fun and relaxing and went by too fast.  Now, bring on summer!

Spring Break Day 4

So I'm a little late on this post.

Katie made an egg for breakfast.  She likes to experiment with seasonings, oregano today.

We meet up with some friends at the YMCA. The kids swam and the Mom's walked around the track.

After lunch our two crazy kiddos emptied out the dishwasher, and they were cracking up.  Who knows what this was all about.  They hyper activity continues.

Have a great weekend.

Spring Break Day 3

They asked for a pajama day.  I said sure, it's spring break.

We made peanut butter chocolate chip cookies.

Look Mom, I did it.

Reading.

Playing with action figures.

Greek Turkey burgers for dinner...yum!

Ian actually eat these sweet potato fries with his dinner.  The boy does not like sweet potatoes.  You can find these  at Target or Costco.

I made changes to both recipes, but if you want to try them here they are.
