Indoor Fun

With the weather being chilly in the mornings, we have been practicing some indoor fun.

We move the table out of the dinning room, and have a nice open area for scooters.
The table and some blankets is all you need for a fun fort.


I think the kids favorite thing to do is blow up the air mattress. They use it as a trampoline sometimes, and other times as a slide.

Labor Day

Labor Day... yes I am that far behind in my posts. Anyways, for Labor Day, Dad's family came down, and we all went to the farm at Thanksgiving Point.

The kids loved ridding the horses.
I loved locking the kids up in jail.


We also took a horse drawn wagon ride.

Animalia

Our last Monday night activity at the Thanksgiving Point Gardens was a Animalia theme.

They started off with face painting.

Burner sat in line trying to decide between a bumble bee or a blue fish. He didn't really care to have a fish, he just wanted blue, so we created the first ever blue bumble bee. He loved it and wouldn't let us wash it off until the next night.

Next up, penguins .
The kids used paper flippers to pick up and eat the fish.

The got to hop around like kangaroos. They even had a race that Bop won.


They made zebra puppets. Bop decided it looked like a cow, so he made a cow puppet instead.
The kids got to meet some

Harry Potter - Gryffindor

HARRY POTTER, HARRY POTTER, HARRY POTTER!

Okay so I love Harry Potter! When I found out that they were doing a Harry Potter themed activity at Thanksgiving Point, nothing could stop me from going.

First thing, first. Sorting hat, or in this case the sorting twister!
Bop, Burner and I all got Gryffindor.

Next stop, Diagon Alley. We made some wands, and picked up our spell books.
Our first class was Divination. We learned to tell the future with these Paper Fortune Tellers. I am proud to say I aced this class!
Our second class was Herbology, which apparently I flunked, because our magic plant didn't grow.


After our sad attempt at Herbology, I wish I could say that I mastered Potions. After several attempts to make playdoh from sawdust, flour, and water, I gave up. Our potion was more of a sloppy mess that no one was willing to touch.
We did really good at our magic quest. We had to do spells to get to the next step of the quest. We only cheated 4 out of 4 times to win. We got a Popsicle for finishing.



All though we failed most of our classes, we had a lot of fun doing it.

Burners new favorite activity is playing in the dirt. He could do it for hours if we let him.
