I took Brooke and Alex to the Ringling Bros circus for the first time this year. Unfortunately it is also the last year for the circus. We all had a great time though watching the acrobatics, clowns, animals and general fun of the circus. Alex especially liked the popcorn and cotton candy.
Tonight for fun I bathed the kids in our tub and let them play with the jets on. They had a good time in the ‘big bath!’
Today was another gorgeous one so I took the kiddos to NWRP for a picnic. We walked down the main road to make it easier. We enjoyed lunch, throwing rocks/sticks in the river, and playing before heading back.
I decided to make some skirts for Brooke as I make all her under dress/skirt shorts out of old leggings (I’ve cut all Alex’s pants that don’t fit into shorts too). All the skirts for her size are inappropriately short for her so I decided to make her some custom ones. I started with scrap silver fabric that I had from an old halloween costume. Then I made a blue one out of some fabric I had. I took one of her dresses that was too short, cut off the top, and make a skirt from it. Then Brooke and I went on a shopping trip to the fabric store and she picked out three fabrics for skirts: a bunny fabric, flower fabric, and butterfly fabric. She now has 6 new custom skirts and she loves wearing them.
What do you do when it is ***80 DEGREES*** in February?!?! Go eat ice cream at Bergery’s of course! Chocolate please!
