September dates

Hadassah and Mommy playdough date

We used a Kool-Aid Playdough recipe 

in pink and purple (pink lemonade and grape).  

They smell nice and both have a pastel color.

Hadassah's favorite thing to make is snakes, she made a big pile of them!

Corban and Daddy plant date

Daddy and Corban gathered seeds, soil, pots and water and planted a mango, an avocado and some tomatoes for our backyard!

Abigail and Mommy craft date

We went to a plant nursery with a pot painting area for children (and then they get to pick a plant for their decorated pot!).

Abigail picked a pretty pink flower for her pot.   The woman, who worked there, that had been talking with us about plants and butterflies told Abigail she could also take a milkweed plant (monarchs like to eat and lay their eggs on milkweed).

And then we sat and watched butterflies while we shared a frozen apple cider!

We went 4Kids of South Florida's dinner and The Orphan Train show event.

last night as a 5 year old!

After months of talking about a Frozen birthday, Abigail decided that she wanted 

her party on her birthday, as opposed to waiting for the weekend.  

So we celebrated Abigail all day long!

she wanted Corban to be with her for her breakfast in bed

Abigail wanted a pool party ("its a pool party and not a swim party because we don't have to swim laps!")

We ate dinner while watching Frozen 
and then went swimming again after dark with pool lights on.

A pink ice cream cake ("because ice cream is frozen") and opening gifts!
