Plans Change

I have done a study on creation, and I had PLANNED on turing that into 7 days of posts. But life got in the way! I am not perfect like God and got distracted. God created the world in 7 days, because He wanted to, so that's how He did it. I don't always get what I want or do what I plan. Haven't you ever heard, "If you want to make God laugh, tell him YOUR plans".  Well my PLANS were interrupted because it was on my heart to share my grandfathers story for Veterans Day, and then my PLANS were interrupted again by according to me, one of God's greatest creations. And according to The Oak Ridge Boys song Thank God for Kids

 I will share the last 3 days of the creation story, but first I would like to share my weekend because I was blessed to spend it with two children that hold a very special place in my life & heart.

Making a cake...we started with a white cake mix (or you can make a white cake from scratch)

she is going through a peace sign phase...he tries to copy her

It was a Rainbow cake so they had to color the batter...

Split the batter equally into 4 bowls, and color with coloring paste (or liquid food coloring)

 It turned out really well. All the colors swirled...and after it was baked we covered with white icing...YUMMY! Rainbow sprinkles would have been a nice touch, but we didn't have any.

 Learning about the frog life cycle, because we are growing FROGS. They each have a tadpole that we are going to try to raise and not kill. Hopefully seeing them through the cycle to adult bullfrogs.

 We colored bullfrog life cycle printouts...then made paper bag frog puppets. Idea from Enchanted Learning

 Air mattresses are not just for sleeping...they make a bumpy road to race monster trucks

Our plasma isn't working so it has retired to the floor

Watching Sponge Bob and eating popcorn...while I did the dishes

The non-working floor model serves as the stand for an itty bitty TV

Then it was time to brush our teeth, bedtime prayers, lights off, and hope they fall asleep before I do

And they did...a fun filled exhausting day...can't go wrong with cake, puppets, and moster trucks.
