This and That

Since it is that time of year where we all should be doing some spring cleaning, and getting ready to spend our days outside, Nathan and I have started getting our basement ready to be finished. Like walls put up and stuff like that. We have temporarily made spaces for the kids to play and things to be placed since we are adding a bedroom, and entertainment room, a 5 piece bathroom, and a food storage room down there. So as you could probably imagine it was time to sort through boxes, and trash/recycle things that needed to go.

My parents graciously shipped me the rest of my "crap" that was in my room from High School and years past, you know the things that really mattered like Teen magazine and old year books. Well along with all of these treasured memories came old costumes, old soccer uniforms, old synchro suits and trophies that were won over the years that I was in those particular sports. They even included all of my Science Fair and Spelling Bee ribbons, yes I was "that" girl in High School.

Well, I was feeding baby Scarlett who has been asleep for the past 4 days, when I came down to the basement "our new favorite place to play" to check on Thing 1 and Thing 2 and this is what I found...

My kids in their new designer play clothes! Two of my Synchronized Swimming Suits. These were actually competition suits that I wore when I was young. Fancy huh? The pink one really helps Lucas's complexion no?

Then they were racing with flags through out the basement playing race car because they were shiny like race cars. Hahaha.

They also enjoyed playing restaurant, Lucas loves the new set up in the basement, too bad it is only temporary! After I fought them to take off their new "wastumes" we made cookies for Family Home Evening.

These were great because they only had 3 ingredients...Peanut Butter, Sugar and Eggs. The top is melted chocolate with peanuts. Mmmm! I will put them on the recipe blog, all 4 of the ones I am apart of! Hahaha!
People often ask me why I had my kids so close, well folks, here is reason #1...They love to play together and are the best of friends.
