We enjoyed being in Colorado for two weeks. Part of the time was at a family reunion, celebrating Grandma Green’s 90th birthday. I do not have all the pictures done, but have a few ready to share finally!
We got to play for the last days of Mommy camp, but we also worked on getting ready for the kids to come home. Here is Megan’s version of her last few days.
I slept in a long time! I ate breakfast and then we played in the pool.
We worked on cleaning the house. Then we ate lunch. Momma made us a special blueberry Sunday for snack.
Then I learned how to make pickles! They are easy. All you have to do if boil a brine and then put cucumbers in a jar with dill and garlic. Then you add the brine! Then you put the lid on. We made five jars.
We had curly fries for dinner.
Then we got some glow sticks and made bunny ears with them. We catched lightening bugs. Then we slept out in the tent.We talked to Daddy on the phone. Momma read me a book before I fell asleep. It started storming. I slept most of the storm. Then we went into Momma’s room and slept.
I slept very long until Momma woke me up on Saturday. We did some shopping and got blueberries. Then we played Clue and played outside. Then the kids came home! Hooray! I made them grilled cheese sandwiches because they were hungry from their drive home from camp.
On Thursday, our day slowed down some. Megan enjoyed her day very much though.
We took a walk first thing because it was supposed to get hot and very humid. We looked for bunnies. We found ten or eleven and one fake one. We also saw the grandma of a friend and we talked to her for a little bit.
When we got home it started to rain. So we played in the rain some. When we came inside we found two new butterflies. Later we watched two more emerge.
I baked cookies all by myself for my big brother and Daddy. Mommy just put them in the oven so I did not get burnt. I took some to Mrs. Klaussen and the Beers for a special treat.
I took a short nap and then enjoyed reading. Mommy and I played Clue. I won!
After work, I had a date with Mark! He took me out for dinner. It was a lot of fun because it was a long one and we talked a lot. He is a good a date because he nice and smart and strong. He opened the doors for me. I told him what I wanted and he ordered for me. Then he paid for me!
Megan wanted to share what she did for “Mommy Camp” again.
We were very busy on Wednesday. We played with Legos and took pictures of them doing silly things. I hope to show those pictures to you later.
We played outside a lot. We made pictures with glitter and played outside some more.
When Mark got home we went to the library and then to Meijers –BORING– and got home just in time to go to work!
After dinner, Mark and I did an experiment. He made a mobius strip out of button candy. He asked how we should eat it. We started eating the middle section and it kept going around! It surprised me. It was fun.
Then Mark painted a picture with me before bed. We were so busy we only read at bedtime!
I had a lot of fun at Mommy Camp today. After eating breakfast, we took a walk and looked for baby bunnies and frogs. We found one rabbit (no babies) and ten frogs! One of them scared Momma! It croaked loudly and then jumped. Momma jumped too, four feet in the air!
On the way home we played a game. Only looking at our shadows, Momma had to catch my hand. But I did not let her. Then we made funny shadows on the road.
We took care of butterflies and I tried to catch one outside. It was too fast for me. It was fun playing catch with a butterfly.
Then we went home and I played on the tire swing while Momma read to me. Thor sat under the tire swing listening too. Mark fixed it so it was tall and I did not hit Thor. He liked the shade and the cool dust. I liked the dirt too. I got all dirty! I painted my legs with it 🙂
When Mark came home I went to Steak and Shake with him on a date! He bought me a mint chocolate chip shake. The waitress dropped our order by our table. We waited for another one. Then we came home and went to work.
I made macaroni and cheese for dinner. It had bunny noodles. It was good. Then it was bed time and I fell asleep fast.
Megan wanted to tell you about the first day of “Mommy Camp”.
I am not very sure what time I got up. I was very tired and it was still dark out! After I watched the kids leave and then Mark leave for work, I went back to bed.
In the morning, I woke up early again, earlier than I normally do. I got changed. I played outside a little bit. I did a little work and we took a walk. We were looking for bunnies. We saw two baby bunnies!
After lunch and nap, we painted our sign. Then we took care of the butterflies. We moved them into a different cage and made sure they were all fed. The rest of the day we played on the tire swing until Mark got home.
We had a cinnamon roll picnic. Then Mark and I played until it was time for work. I helped at work, picked some veggies and then got to play on the “scissors”. Then I got to play with the chickens.
Then it was time for dinner. Daddy brought home some pasties and we had ice cream. Before bed we had our devotions and then Mark read to me.
I was very tired and do not know how long it took to fall asleep.
Allan and I enjoyed a sunset hike one evening. We climbed a path the boys had discovered and climbed earlier.
