Matt's Dad and Marcia were in town, so we celebrated his birthday again. The girls saw a video on You Tube where they made these lamb cupcakes and they just knew Daddy would like these for his birthday. They turned out cute! :)
As I do every time they visit, I forgot to get pictures of the girls with them. Ugh! Grandma and Grandpa Plothow always bring an interesting toy when they come. This time was no different! It's a little construction type game with design cards you have to pattern your creation after. They have different levels of difficulty. We played with this set for a long time! And by "we", I mean even the adults tried out the more difficult designs. :)
Have you guys seen these things??? They are LOL Surprise Dolls and the girls are infatuated with them! We watch You Tube videos of people opening them all.the.time! It's basically a ball wrapped in seven layers of plastic and each layer you unwrap has some sort of surprise. The final layer opens the ball and you get the little baby doll out of it. Then, you have to check if the doll pees, spits, cries or color changes (which is why they are dipping them in water). I must say, it's fun to see what we get and the girls get so excited trying to figure out which doll they will get based on the first six layers of surprises.
I can't believe we haven't made slime before this, but we have not. Such fun! Of course, Avery had to make hers purple sparkle. We tried to make Morgan's blue sparkle, but it came out a little gray.
We had a play date with the Wilken boys. Even though it was a little chilly, the kids still loved playing in the water table.
Matt got a new fire pit for his birthday, so we tested it out this past weekend. Hot dogs and s'mores turned out great! I think the new fire pit is a keeper!
We also took a trip to the zoo. It wasn't too crowded because it was overcast and drizzly, so that worked out well for us. No big lines for anything and the girls got their first choice of animal on the carousel!
We went through the Dinos and Dragons exhibit. The girls weren't so sure about the T-Rex. There was a dead triceratops baby on the ground under the T-Rex and Morgan yelled "awww, look at it's baby!" Um, that's not it's baby, that's it's lunch. Another parent next to us chuckled!
Of course, Avery wanted her face painted. Always a highlight of her trip to the zoo!
We stopped off at the bird house to let the girls feed them. Avery is always a little skittish about it at first, but Morgan jumps right in.
We walked through the wallabies. There is a stage in the middle of the area and Morgan can just not pass up a chance to perform! She jumped right up there and started singing!
We actually caught the dolphin show from underneath while we were there and it was pretty cool to watch.
So, the girls wanted me to paint their faces at home, so I gave it a shot. We have a face paint kit from a while ago. I don't think I did too terrible. The girls approved, so that's all that matters!
