Fall Break

 We stayed home for a break for once! I tried to have a few fun things for the kids to do on a tight budget. And I really enjoyed having the kids home. We stayed around the house; the kids did their chores and we played the rest of the day. We baked and decorated cookies, and delivered them to some neighbors. We watch Halloween movies, had a sleep out, played board games and Hide-n-Seek. We played football in the front yard, went bowling and ate milkshakes, visited Dad at work, explored the Planetarium, and had lunch at Costco. We did quite a bit, but it felt lowkey and not stressful and enjoyable. 

Zander worked on painting and putting together a model ship from Grandpa Washburn while everyone else helped Dad make scones. We had Navajo tacos for dinner. Zander said it's his new favorite meal and wants it for his birthday dinner.

We visited Dad at his office. The kids wanted to see what it looked like. Then we walked to the Clark Planetarium.
