Our Family Blog – Mike, Louanne, Nadia, Amelie, & Dani
As of Tuesday we are waiting for our Travel Approval from China. I am thankful that we are in the final stretch of the wait. Little Dani is 22 months old today and I hope that we will be there to meet her soon. All China agencies will be closed from Jan 31st – Feb 6th for the Chinese New Year holiday so we hope that it come soon after that.
Nadia loves the Dr. Seuss book about Oobleck and I knew the girls would get a kick out of having some messy fun. This is where I found the recipe. The ingredients are water, corn starch and food coloring.
I gave each girl a bowl, fork, spoon and funnel. For easy clean up I placed some beach towels on the floor. Once they were done I tossed their clothes and the towels straight into the washer.
Both girls thought this was great fun. They said it was squishy, messy and drippy. Nadia spent so much time kneading hers that we had to add more water to soften it up again. Amelie loved the feel of it dripping off her hands. Once they washed their hands they did have a slight green tint, but it washed off by the next day. We will definitely do this again.
The Peterman family came down for a last minute road trip and spent a week with us. We were all so excited to be together. The girls had a blast for the entire week and so did the adults. We took them to some new restaurants including Niki’s Italian and Twisted Root. Plus we ate at some delicious places they don’t have in CO like Hard Eight BBQ, Sprouts Pho and Freebirds. Here are the highlights.
We had a girls day with Laura and Eileen. We went to see Frozen, ate lunch at Brio and then looked at books over at Barnes and Noble.
Jess and I went to see “Catching Fire” on the OMNI IMAX screen and it was awesome!
These girls crack me up.
Piles of food for 11 people at Hard Eight. Funny labels from the Freebird’s online order.
We took this on their last night here. Thanks for coming and we hope to see you soon!!
Mike took a series of photos of Michelle’s engagement ring before they left and I think they are so great!
This one is so cute! And it was definitely a surprise.
The jeweler used this one on their facebook page.
