F is for Funnel Cakes and Family

We did Ff for two weeks!  Partly because there were a lot of fun things to do with it and partly because Jonathan was out of town in Canada for two long weeks straight so I just stayed on the same letter :)  Did you hear me say he was gone for two weeks.....two whole weeks...even the weekend!  We missed him SO much!  I know a lot of families do this a lot and I admire their strength!  Good thing we have a lot of family around to keep us busy!!

For Ff week we enjoyed eating yummy fruit, french fries, french toast, and Fruit Loops.  We sang "Five Little Monkeys" and "Farmer and the Dell".  We read The Rainbow Fish, The Foot Book, Down on the Funny Farm, and lots of other books about football, firetrucks, and flags!  Here are some pictures and other fun adventures we went on these past two weeks!

 French toast...a little powdered sugar...yum!

 We met my sister and her family and Gabby and Papa in downtown Greenville one night.  We ate at Mellow Mushroom then walked down to Funnelicious across from the Drive baseball stadium.  The funnel cakes were really good and it was a beautiful night for a walk downtown!

 Luke pretty much just licked all the sugar off the top and only took one real bit.  Funny kid!

 We were missing Daddy so we decided to send him a package!  Madison was coloring her page...

 I saw this cute quote online so we each got a page then I stapled them together.  It says, "Dad: A son's first hero, a daughter's first love."  I LOVE that!

 We took it to Fed Ex and sent it to Cananda!!  We filled it with yummy snacks, our book we made him, a book to read to us (apparently I wrote 'read to use' on the note) on FaceTime, and a magazine.  Jonathan did tell me that the Reeses minis were one big block of chocolate :(

 He got our package and that night he read the story called A Father's Song to Luke and Madison on FaceTime!  They LOVED it!!! 

 One night we met Nana and Nanny (Luke and Madison's great grandmother) to eat at Fatz :)

 We read a couple Fancy Nancy books so we decided to dress Madison like Pinkalicious!  Luke also found this funny hat that use to belong to Austin and he wanted to wear it ALL day!  It cracked me up because it had flaps on the side!!!

 We read The Rainbow Fish and Rainbow Fish 1, 2, 3 and made our own rainbow fish!

 We also got our first pet!!!  We bought a Betta fish and named him Frito!  In this picture his is peaking out behind Luke's arm :)  They love to feed him and talk to him!

We will end with Madison new funny face!  I like to call it her cheesy Elvis smile!

Stay tuned for 3 other posts!  We went to Hollywild Farm, Dollywood in Pigeon Forge, and to the Clemson football game!  It was two weeks full of fun!!!!
