Fun times

Aww, my little helper. At school, they focused on the color blue and made blueberry muffins on Friday. Well, Connor wanted to come home and make, what else but more blueberry muffins.
His kindergarten teacher does such cute and fun things with the class. Like, for his first week, they focused on gingerbread men everything and even ate gingerbread men cookies she made. So, of course, he wanted to make gingerbread men at home too. We didn't have that shape of cookie cutter so we made one. We had fun making the frosting, decorating them, eating them and giving some away. Connor liked making "families" of gingerbread.


Here's Connor with his buddy Eli. His family recently moved in and they're our nearest neighbors that are in our ward so they tend to get together quite a bit. It was so cute to see them dress up as dragons. One night, they made shields at his house so here they are displaying them. They were acting out being bad and good dragons. Such cuties!


We went to this place that is dubbed on their website as "Disneyland-like". Whoa...was that an exaggeration. I was very disappointed. But, since it was a Tucson Birthday celebration (Tucson is 234 years old this month), with cake and all, we went- who doesn't like cake!! To their credit, they said they are still renovating and bringing in new equipment. I was just shocked at some of the other, uh, clientele. They were like hard-rock black-wearing college kids or worse, still in that stage but parents of young kids. Sadly, I only saw a few other people I would deem "normal."

Something we really did like, though, was the face painting. The artist was really good. Connor said he wanted a cat and I was amazed she did a very good full-face cat. He loved it.
