The boys have been shopping twice with Dad, and they are ready for the 4th of July!
Agnes and I will be spending the day indoors…
She is not a fan of the 4th of July.
If you are outdoors or in, have a super safe and very Happy 4th of July!

Road Trip: Wonderscope
One of the many reasons that I wished we lived in Kansas City just so happens to be Wonderscope. It is an awesome place, and whenever the kiddos want to go somewhere, Wonderscope is on the top of their list. James had some time off, so I talked him into a road trip to Wonderscope. The kiddos couldn’t wait to go.
Wonderscope is an interactive Children’s Museum, and it is fun for all ages. There are several different themed rooms filled with activities, dress up, and art to create. My kids favorites are the Lego Room, and the Water Room. Save the water room for last, the kiddos will be soaked!
I think this is our third visit to Wonderscope, and the kids are already asking to go again.
Agnes and I spent most of the day in the Baby Room, she was a little grumpy on this trip.
The boys enjoyed the new music display. I got to play the Theremin, and James played the Marimba.
It was hard to get the boys to stand still for a photo, they were ready to play.
I hope to make another trip to Wonderscope this Summer, and again in the Fall. It is so much fun, and a fantastic day out of the house.
June’s Tasty Treats
I think I spent most of June in the kitchen whipping up breakfast, lunch, and dinner for the crew. I did get a few tasty treats made though, but not near enough pictures.
We made Oatmeal Muffins for breakfast for dinner night.
I tried out a new recipe for Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Truffles. James loved these!
Last but not least I made a Chocolate Cake with Red Velvet Icing. It was amazing delicious, the kiddos loved it.
Now onto July, and I’m working on a Cherry Jell-O Cake today! Time to get in the kitchen.
