Carmel Apple Trail Mix

Have you tried the "Carmel Apple Trail Mix" from Costco.

YUMMY.

You have to like Carmel, Peanuts, Apples ect...

It's so delicious i don't think it would be wise for me to purchase again.

Anyone?

Yummy!

A little Taryn & Nolan Update

It's been awhile since I did a Taryn and Nolan post.

So here goes a quick one.

This last month we had a ton of activities and visitors.

So Taryn and Nolan got moved down by the fireplace in the kitchen to have space at the big table. Here they are ready to pray...too cute...red shirts and plates...funny...

We went through a super hero stage (and are still going through it). Where every waking hour they wanted their blankets made into capes. FUNNY!

The twins with my parents.

Does it get cuter than this? Nolan with his cape and CUTE blue undies. Come on I know he's not your child and i'm biased, but isn't he adorable with those blue undies he looks like he is ready to fly.

Okay and we are working on their room. They have been officially moved to beds, but are both sleeping on the bottom bunk (they are actually asleep here).

I know i know the dark wood is dark, but we had to think long term...I wanted white anyway a lot of factors involved here than just their room. Long story. Now i wish i would of waited to buy the bedding until after the bed was purchased, o'well. I'm thankful for the bed and the coverings.
Still working on their room.

Too cute!

Mad Lab Birthday Party

This was probably one of my favorite parties for Dylan.
Dylan was super excited about it.
Dylan and i did some research online and came up with some fun ideas.
THEN.
I discovered
Steve Spangler Science
When planning a science party there is hardly anything out there for the "science" theme in party stuff.
However, when you get a little creative and go to Steve's Website you can get all sorts of ideas. I also got tons of ideas online.
The caution stickers have a pdf file

Inside the test tubes are gobstoppers from the $1 store.
We made snow, slime, magic sand, made tornado's and set off coke bottles with mentos.

Kids came and went all afternoon. Here's a shot of some of them.

This is Dylan "best buddy" a fifth grader named Eric. He's our neighbor as well.

He is teaching and helping Dylan in so many neat ways,

great kid such a blessing to Dylan.

Mentos let off in a bottle.
The front door. I just can not seem to throw a party without balloons. I know i don't need them, but it just doesn't seem like a party if we don't have balloons.
