Heritage Festival

Heritage Festival

A couple of weeks ago, Hayden participated in the Heritage Festival at her school. The kids learned 5 songs to sing all together, and the elementary kids also put on a short skit. While Hayden and her class participated in the show, we were not able to actually see her sing, so Sam asked her…

Applesauce

Applesauce

Yesterday, I realized that we had some apples in the fridge that just weren’t going to be good for eating, so instead of tossing them or making a “sugar-added” dessert…. Camryn and I made slow cooker applesauce! We started by peeling the apples. It was the first time that Camryn used a peeler. She had so…

Camryn’s a First Grader!

And, just like that, summer is over and it’s back to school! Today was Camryn’s first day in Ms. Acres first grade class. She woke up quite cheery and excited. After breakfast, she sheepishly asked if she could wear a dress – to which I responded “Of course.” She thought she would have to convince…

Vacation Days 14, 15 & 16

On the road again! Started the day in Anaheim with an odometer reading 10654 miles. Drive was to be 394.3 miles long, which should have taken about 5.5 hours.

Happy birthday to me, happy birthday to me, happy Disney birthday to me! Got a bit of a later start this morning, mostly because the girls were tired and it was tough to get them going… But it was my birthday and I had a plan! Sam and I decided that we were going to…

Disneyland Day 3 – Vacation Day 11

This morning was our MAGIC MORNING! Unfortunately, after a late night on Monday – it was rather difficult to wake up with the alarm clock. We managed to get everyone dressed and out the door in time to be in line before the 7am gate opening – I was shocked! First on the docket was…
