Yesterday was a fantastic day. J only had to work a couple of hours so we got to have an unexpected family day! I had Jon in the morning so it was a quiet morning. I got some homework done and before I knew it J was home. The girls and J went shopping for a birthday gift for Jon while I went to have my hair done. Bella picked out a really cool Batman car that runs over barrels. Jon loved it. He enjoyed having a toy that was not pink to play with at our house.

Its amazing how good it feels to have a fresh new hair cut and color. Its so satisfying and relaxing. I haven't had any me time in a very long time. It was so rejuvenating! J picked me up after kidnapping our Jiggy so we could all have a family dinner. It was nice to reconnect with everyone. We have all been so busy that it has been a really long time since we have all done anything together. It was a dinner full of laughs, smiles and yummy food. I love the Olive Garden!

We had the neighbors over this morning to make cookies and homemade play dough. We made the fall version. After coloring it orange (pinkish orange), I added vanilla, cinnamon, and apple pie spice. We had fun using our five senses to feel, touch, see, and smell it. It smelled really good but I didn't think it would be a good idea to taste it. I love homemade play dough. Its inexpensive and I don't have to worry about the kids mixing up the colors. If anyone would like the recipe let me know :0)
