Other Fun Activities

Most of what we've been doing lately can be wrapped up in other posts, but these are just a few moments that didn't fit anywhere else.

Emily and Grace were playing Minecraft together.  Last night, apparently, Grace pushed a button in Emily's game marked "do not push" and ended up trapped in a container of some sort. lol.

When we collected coupons from the library, William ended up with a bonus one from McDonald's.  Not even Grace and Emily, who were the first to claim their prizes, received one! The coupon was set to expire at the end of September, so I really wanted to use it up!  When we looked up how much an ice cream cost, it was only $1.29, so I agreed to buy each of the girls one.  But when we arrived, they were over $2 each!  So, each of the girls requested to pick out something that was the same price or less.  William was the only one who ended up with ice cream.  It was a slow morning for them, because we had 30+ minutes when we arrived, and were almost late to the love clothing center for Alice and William, and all we got were treats!

Avia came with us to the final meetup an eatup at the South Lansing library the week before the kids went back to school.  It was nice that Alice and William were working the love clothing center on Wednesdays, because that was the meetup and eatup day!  We ended up going three or four times this summer.  

Since William and Alice missed the meetup and eatup, we went to taco bell to redeem their coupons.  I don't know why I find it so hard to use the coupons once school starts, but we try to use them all up before school starts!  

Each coupon came with a taco and bag of cinnamon twists.  The kids enjoyed the taco, but the twists were enjoyed by none.

Last week at the Cornishes' the twins found a shark blanket, and couldn't wait to show us the twin shark!

Somehow, the kids talked Avia into buying them McDonald's!  I thought they were just getting treats, but she bought them a full meal! Spoiled children!

Grace and Juliet shared a seat in the most twin way possible at their dentist appointment.  They both wanted the same seat, pushed their hips together, and sat down, without any discussion or argument!  It was wild to watch.

Billy and I went on a date to the wine shop on Friday night, and tried out her new cheese tray! We ordered the dill option and it was quite tasty!

It's been a busy, but lovely August, and September holds the promise for just as much fun!
