We finished taking apart the fallen fence in our back yard, we are going to try to reuse the broads when Keith and some friends rebuild the fence (since our backyard neighbors do look like they are going to fix it).  Then went to Mass so we would be ready for our busy Sunday. 

 Sunday

We picked up coffee & donuts before going to City Park to cheer on our friends racing in the Louisiana Marathon.   Ashley ran the Marathon.  Everyone else we were cheering on ran the Half.  

We got the park around 8:15am and thanks to the Find my Friends app on our iphones we were able to see everyone. 

 After everyone we knew ran by we headed downtown to the finish line to see my Cousin Liz, Baby Trey and Aunt Cindy.  

Then we picked up lunch and ate it at a park in Baton Rouge since Keith and I had our first coed game at 1pm.  My mom came to watch our game and play with the boys.  The fell right asleep in the car after our game.

Was a busy day of grocery shopping, Little Gym, and then made our Favorite King Cake.

 Wednesday is cleaning day!  I picked a day we were normally home.  Wednesday is storytime at the library so we are not away from the house long.  I wash sheets & towels and clean all the bathrooms every week (well most weeks) and do the other stuff as needed. 

Reece really wanted to go to Smoothie King after Little Gym yesterday so today I let him pick what he wanted in his smoothie.  He wanted a strawberry and banana smoothie with lunch! Yum!!

We finished reading Charlie and the Chocolate Factory so we watched the old Willy Wonka movie tonight.
Playing Sneaky da Ninja in a dark room can't end good.

Apple Tasting

I saw this on Pinterest and really wanted to try it since I always buy the same 2-3 varieties of apples.  One day at the grocery store Reece and I bought one of each variety of apple they had (12 total).   

I made this Apple Tasting ... Rate it!! Sheet!  Gave everyone a highlighter so we could rate each apple from 1 to 5 stars.

We had a lot of fun trying the apple.  Reece spit out a couple of the apples, Grady only had to do that once.  I found 4 apples that I really do not like.  Grady rated ever apple but 3 with 5 stars.  

Here is a link to our Apple tasting results (Mom, Dad, and Grady) we did not include Reece ratings.  

We had a lot of apples left over so we dipped the apple slices in pineapple juice and stored in the fridge to eat during the week.  We think it would fun to try this with a big group and then you would have less  leftovers.
