This weekend three years ago
What We're Doing:
- Indie Author Book Expo
- The Boxcar Children Sneak Preview at Franklin Avenue Library
- Blank Park Zoo to see the baby rhino! The minis are ecstatic!
- A hike, a movie, ??? We've got Sunday open with a few things we'd like to do. We'll see what wins out
Things To Do:
- Make thank you trees or leaves
- Trolls movie comes out this weekend. Make it a family movie afternoon
- Family movie night. We've had a few of these lately and the minis look forward to them (and often request them!). We do something special for dinner (ordering pizza or chinese food, making our own pizzas, a dinner of our fave appetizers, etc.) and eat while we watch the movie. Now that it's getting darker earlier, we can start a movie earlier and finish up just around bedtime
- Make Christmas lists. Our families start Christmas shopping early so we have to have our lists ready. It also makes shopping a bit easier on us if the kid's lists are already done. You can make it interesting and have kids make Christmas Tree Christmas Lists
