Makin whoopee......pies

While we were in Maine I had some Whoopee Pie ice cream...let me just say heaven in a cone!! Ever since I have been thinking about whoopee pies. While at WIU my friend Janet's mom would send her (and a few extra for me) whoopee pies. Mom Wagner had given me the reciepe a long time ago...yet I'd never made them. So I decided that we should make them today. Sam helped me make the cookies. Then the boys played outside while the cookies cooled. I applies the creamy whipped 'heaven' to the middle and here they are!! Not bad for my first try!!!!

Our last week

Here is Ben with his version of the painting.

On Wednesday we went to the Art musuem. Here the boys are coloring their version of the picture The Gardner.

Investigating the pond with Candee, Alex and Marlee

Monday...we painted rocks and had a picnic with Marlee and Alex.

The boys went to visit Grandpa Buck and Grandma June in Savanna, IL last week. They were lucky enough to get to spend the WHOLE week with grandma and grandpa. We had a nice Hawaiian dinner when grandma and grandpa brought the boys back.

It's our last week of summer before school starts next week. We've been trying to do something fun each day.

A Day at the Park

The boys looking at the boats.

We walked ALL the way out to the lighthouse...my friend Sally and I with 4 boys...and there was no railing...
