21 - Ladies Night

The other day was “ladies night”.  Months ago thea heard on the radio about this magical time called “ladies night” at some bar where they have like $2 drink specials for all the ladies and she was like “mom we need to get all the ladies, get dressed up and go to ladies night.”  She wrote it on her bucket list and tonight was the night.  The girls got dressed up and they did their makeup.  I couldn’t recall the bar in question so we took them to Ainsley’s Cafe hoping we could sit on the water sadly it was raining but the “ladies” didn’t seem to notice.  thea insisted on steak which of course was like a 24 oz steak so she shared this with her friend and they still didn’t finish it.  Also thanks to my friend Sarah for coming with me so I didn’t have to make conversation with 7 year olds the entire time.

4 - host an art club - shoe painting

We hosted an art wit club with our friends and painted shoes.  It was so fun to see everyone’s designs and different takes on painting shoes. If we did it again I’d have less paints and more mixing cups the kids seemed very interested in making their own colors and did even though we had similar colors already mixed.  Lol!

Brazil - brigadeiro

One of our 2023 family goals is trying foods from other countries.  Jones brought home a cookbook for Brazil the other day and he picked out a recipe for brigadeiros which are like Brazilian fudge balls?  Anyhow we made the recipe and tried it and while ours did not set up right (we probably cooked it too long), it didn’t taste bad and my kids have enjoyed it on ice cream the last few days.  It’s almost like a pudding with the consistency of ours but still good on ice cream.
