National Noodle Day

It's National Noodle Day and you know that we love pasta. Sure we could go out to Olive Garden for noodles, or even cook some dry pasta, but these National Days always have me wanting to do a little bit extra. It's been years since I've made my own pasta, but I figured today would be the perfect day to bring out the pasta roller.

A Birthday Celebration at the Sherman Oaks Castle Park

Happy weekend! And today we're out in Sherman Oaks celebrating a friend's birthday party!

Normally we'd be at Disneyland at a castle, but that's okay. We're still at a castle! Castle Park with mini-golf, an arcade, and batting cages!

National Apple Betty Day - October 5th

Today is National Apple Betty Day. Now if only I knew someone who has a bunch of apples...
Oh wait. I do know someone who still has a fridge full of apples left over from our Oak Glen Apple Orchard visit.

National Taco Day - October 4th

Today is National Taco Day! Whenever I ask the kids where they want to go eat, there's a good chance they're going to say Taco Bell. That's because they love love love the Cool Ranch Doritos Locos crunchy tacos there.
And it's awesome Taco Bell is doing a special promotion! 2 Doritos tacos and 2 regular tacos for $5! And it comes in this awesome gift box!

Making our own Bath Bombs

Knowing she was coming out for a visit, my mom was looking for some fun things to do with the kids. The kids have received bath bombs as gifts and they love them. I read that you can make your own, so Gram set off to figure out how to do it.

National Homemade Cookie Day - October 1st

Today is Homemade Cookie Day!
We're very fortunate that our Aunt Rita has a delicious homemade cookie recipe, and we're even more fortunate that she's made a big batch of cookies for us and frozen them in individual balls. That way we can cook as many as we want whenever we get the urge for a hot and fresh cookie!

Apple Taste Test 2019

Last weekend we were in California visiting the Oak Glen Apple Orchards. While there, Theresa brought home 10 different kinds of apples so that we could do a big apple taste test. Those 10 apples came with us on the airplane for our Colorado visit!
