C Day

After a full morning at church working on VBS we headed home for C day! After we put William down for a nap we got to working.

First we made some Chalk paint with cornstarch.

We made purple, pink, and yellow. We tried all different brushes and even a little bit of splatter painting. It was actually really fun.

Then we made Chocolate dipped bananas. We melted peanut butter and chocolate and dipped cut up bananas. Then were placed in the freezer. (We enjoyed them before bed and they tasted like vanilla ice cream with chocolate peanut butter.)

After working on our verse and handwriting we did a Crayon scratch art and practice writing the letter C.

Little Will woke up so we headed outside to play with the Cozy Coupe Car. Madeline loves to ride in it and on it and she even makes poor Will push her all over the yard.

 

 

Little Man got his hair cut yesterday. It was a horrible experience. He screamed the entire time. When Nick got in the chair to get his haircut Will tried to protect him by yanking off the cape and pushing the lady away. Now I just need to find some good hair gel to keep the hair swooped over. As Grandpa Ross says it is all in training the hair how to grow.

Finally Nick came home from work and on a whim we headed to City Garden in downtown St. Louis. We ate Joe’s Chili bowl. I had a Chili Cheese Coney Dog. I was really trying to stay with the C theme. It came with a huge thing of fries that I HAD to dip in the cheese sauce. The restaurant is right there in the garden overlooking all the fountains. BEAUTIFUL.

When we finished eating we headed for a walk and splash through the garden. This is as close as Will got to the water.

Madeline LOVED it!

Yep, they have life guards and let the kids jump in the fountains. It was so hard to get her to leave.

So as we were leaving at 7:00pm we decided to stop by the Missouri Botanical gardens. It is free on Wednesday night and has a concert.  We had to park pretty far but the gardens were beautiful. It just got dark and the picture taking had to stop. They encourage people to bring picnics and sit and enjoy the concerts.  We will be back with our picnic!

Nick and Madeline come out of the maze.  We finally left around 9pm. Madeline was asleep before we made it past the Arch and Will was wide awake the whole way home. They are so different.  This was a very busy C day and I am ready to CRASH.
