Fun Food Weekend

All continues to be well for A^4.  We are sending good thoughts to all of our family and friends and

can't wait to be able to give everyone a hug.

We all had Presidents Day off and Amy surprised the kids by agreeing to play Roblox with them.  The kids are always asking us to play with them in their Roblox games.  Amy is certain that the kids were not expecting Amy to be so SLOW at moving in the games (understanding which key makes your character do which move...hahaha).   Ayson also requested Broccoli Cheddar Cheese soup so we also made a big batch of soup - Ayson helped cut the cheese.  

Last week, the kids lost electronics for not doing their chores from the night before - so they both broke out long forgotten toys/coloring to keep themselves occupied.  :)

Ayson's creation - a robot (surprise!)

After dinner another night, Ayson made himself a vanilla mug cake and searched for a recipe on his own.  He had only one (fixable) mistake: 3 Tablespoons of flour instead of the 3 cups that he started to add :)

He added so many green sprinkles that it turned the entire cake green - but he gave his creation a thumbs up!4

On Friday, Amy went to Grandma Collene's for a Girls Only sleep over - "Dear Camp" :)

It was great to relax and catch up with Grandma, Auntie Fran, and Auntie Julie :)

On Sunday, the kiddos wanted to make a Valentines treat  - so we made vanilla and chocolate cupcakes!

Filling the tins and sampling the batter

Our neighbors, the Anthony's had given as a decorating kit that was once Gianna's - so we were able to make pretty designs on our cupcakes!

Ayson and his "artistic" expression while frosting a cupcake.

Ta Da!

Ugh.  That is a ton of frosting

Hahaha.  Amy warned Addie that eating all of that frosting would give her a sugar rush and then she would not feel good.  Undeterred, as noted by the below picture, Addie had to rest for a bit before she finished frosting the rest of the cupcakes

Our finished master pieces!

Ayson trying to figure out how to put back together a toy that is supposed to break a part and then be re-built.  He was starting to get frustrated but then how a tutorial on YouTube...

Success!  LOOK at that smile!
