Today was a big day. Some days I'm a little bit of a slacker and just let the day happen but today was a good day. We went on a long flower walk and tried to find a bunch of different types of flowers, both wild flowers and flowers in peoples yards. Wren also brought her camera and took pictures. I took pictures too so we could compare pictures when we got home (note: Wren's camera takes terrible pictures, it is a kids camera). It was a super long outside excursion. We were out for over an hour and a half and kids were still really having fun when I said it was time to come home (it was lunch time and fun to hangry can happen fast). We also played the fire fighter game where Flynt decides a stick is a fire hose and I'm the fire chief (Fire Beef is how it sounds when he says it -love!) and I say "Oh no! _____ is on fire!" and he runs over and pretends to put out the fire. Wren joined in with the pretend game and it made the walk home fun as the fires kept getting closer to home until we were there.
Here are some of the flowers that we saw:
Next up was cookie making time. We were all out of pecans so we used peanuts and made chocolate chip peanut cookies. They were super yummy. I let Flynt help crack the egg for the first time with this batch of cookies and also help me with the mixer for the first time. He really enjoyed it. I have no pictures of those big moments since I was trying to aim egg and keep fingers out of beaters. Both kids love to help with baking projects.
