Leaves, and Legos and Cookies oh my!

Yeah so, in all honesty - my new obsession really monopolized the majority of my weekend. I figured since weekends are the only time I'm not out numbered, I may as well take advantage of it. We did do some stuff though - I shall recap.

DH and Soph raked leaves today. They were really adorable, the picture is not so great. In my defense I took it from inside the house, from our bedroom window - so there was a screen and glass involved. Before they could finish and jump in them it started to pour - lame.We also baked sugar cookies. Since Soph's doing well with the wheat allergy and it seems to be leaving, we made real cookies (well, without eggs or dairy) - they were tasty and Soph loves to bake so it was a swell time. She wanted to make gingerbread girls. I tried to explain the concept of trying to get more than one cookie out of each roll - I failed. She's not to bad at rolling out dough - although she really must have missed the memo that states - "Summer is over. It is now fall and barely 45 degrees outside - bathing suits and dresses are no longer suitable." *sigh* at least we stayed indoors. This was our first attempt at our Unplugged Project. Filling a box with legos. (Fun I know) Interest - gone. Thus begins the creation of a sword. I do believe the soul reason for the creation of the sword was to attack me, luck me. For any of you curious folk out there, the box was 5 legos deep. I did go on to fill it - mostly because I was trying to hog the Legos. A smile and a pat on the back to anyone who knows how many legos fill that box. :) And so ends a wonderfully lazy weekend.

Postponed adventure

Our super awesome grand geocaching adventure (aka our search of hidden treasures) had to be postponed until tomorrow. Hopefully it will not be so overcast. Apparently GPSes don't like to work when they can't actually find a satellite to bounce off of. Hmmph. That's ok. We decided to put together our own treasure for people to find! So far we've decided to include a spongebob disposable camera (so people can take pictures and we can see who has found our treasure!), an Air Force coin and a littlest pet shop cat. That's about it for now. I think we'll add to it as we think of bitty things that would be fun to find. Perhaps I shall take a picture later. Sophia came up with the idea that we should have a notebook with pictures of the places we found our treasure so we could remember it always. I thought it was quite a good idea so we found a little blank notebook and labeled it and bright and early tomorrow (before it gets up to 98.... ouch) we shall embark on our 1st treasure hunt. We did however bake some sugar cookies today, quite tasty considering they lack all ingredients one would usually find in cookies. We did decorate with sprinkles and crystal sugar though! I should have taken pictures of those too, but I think they got devoured once daddy got home - I shall ask and perhaps update. (No promises though)
