Lydia's 5th Birthday

-

For all the kid's 5th and 10th birthday parties we take them and some friends/family to do something special.  They get to pick what they want to do.

For Lydia's birthday she decided she wanted to go bowling.  So we sent invites to a few of her friends and a few of her cousins.

We went on a Saturday morning, got a couple of lanes, and paid for everyone to bowl a couple times.  We also got some french fries and drinks.

We think they all had fun, especially Lydia.  She was so excited to have her friends and cousins with her and do something she really enjoys.

Afterwards we had a party at our house where everyone was invited.  We had cake, she opened presents, and the kids played.

Here is our Pink Chicken Coop that we did ourselves. We built it in 2019. Nick built it and the kids and I painted it. He came up with the plans, after showing him some I liked, and built it. Then Brichette painted the Sunflower 🌻 and bee 🐝 on it for me. It wasn’t very hard to build and didn’t cost much. I love it so much!  We added party lights and pink lights for the night. 🤩

Today is National Popcorn Day (along with National Tin Can Day and Get to Know Your Customer’s Day). We love popcorn! 🍿 We eat it all the time.  We like to make our own, but also like the white cheddar Smatfood popcorn, kettle corn, caramel popcorn, from the movie theater, and even some gas stations. Today I made caramel popcorn. I got the recipe from Nick’s mom. You can find the recipe  Here Xander got this popcorn maker as a white elephant gift. This is the white cheddar popcorn we like. Did you know… Popcorn is over 5,000 years old. World War II’s sugar shortage led to Americans to eat 3x more popcorn. It’s gluten free Nebraska produces more popcorn than any other state. Unpopped kernels are called Old Maids Americans eat 17 Billion quarts every year. It’s the state snack of Illinois. What are your favorite flavors of popcorn?

Rain Chain

  We bought this watering can rain chain last year at Western Gardens, but I couldn't decide where to put it.  Well, I finally decided on putting it in the front yard. I really like it here.  I get to see it everyday and I can enjoy it through all the seasons. I like having stuff that isn't common... That no one else has.  This rain chain is unique to me.
