We usually try to plan a weekend getaway when surgery day approaches. It helps us relax and just enjoy being a family before all the craziness. That didn’t happen with everyone’s extra curricular activities and life in general. So, we settled for a couple of family days. We had planned a day of family pictures and then off to Colonial Days but the bottom fell out (it was pouring rain for all you non-Southerners) right as we finished pictures. So, we went for plan B. Eat out and then do a family bake-off judged by our sweet neighbors.
We split the kids up into two teams and told them to use either pumpkin or apple and then we let them go. There was laughing and dancing and good-natured ribbing all afternoon.
While everyone finished up the baking we sent Mark off to create our pumpkin masterpieces. Tobin helped a little.
With all the “help,” Mark’s talent still shown through. By the way, the lights int eh back of the last picture are most definitely cat eyes from Winter.
