Monday Funday


This morning Sydney and I spent some time at home just chilling together.  I figured it was the perfect opportunity to take an item off of our bucket list that was an 'at home' activity.

Sydney has a book that she loves to read every night, it's a book about bugs and insects and different crafts and projects that you can make or do inspired by bugs.  She calls it "the wire book" because almost every craft requires some sort of wire, which we never have around here.

The one craft that didn't need wire was for patterned spirals, inspired by snails.


So this morning we whipped up a batch of dough, rolled it into snakes and curled them into snails which we baked in the oven and then painted.






Syd was so thrilled to do this craft at long last!

I decided to try a new recipe today for deviled salmon cakes to use up some canned salmon that Paul's nephew had given us.  They were absolutely delicious!  I served them with a side of dill mayo sauce and we loved them!  They could easily be used as salmon burgers in a bun, in fact I think the next time I make them that's exactly what I'll do!  Click here for the recipe.


This afternoon we met up with a few of the families from preschool at the David Livingston water park to play at the playground and splash in the water.  Syd so enjoyed playing with her buddies Levi, Leo and Noa.



It was a nice mellow day, we enjoyed it!
