16th Day of Gratitude - Empty Schedule and a Rainy Day

Normally I wouldn't be so thankful about a day filled with a steady rainfall, but part of this month was to change my view a little bit. We have something afterschool most days of the week, but thankfully, today, our schedule was empty. I was very thankful to not have to go out into the rain again. I even tried to make it a little more excited for the kids...
They each got to pick something to watch on TV...



And then we did some juicing! We warmed some up with cinnamon sticks, too for cider, but I was the only one who enjoyed it that way!
Watch out apples, you are about to meet your fate behind you...



In action!


And after dinner we made some pumpkin muffins! I was at Trader Joe's today and knew the rain was coming, so I picked up their mix... easy peasy! And both kids have recently started helping out with every aspect of baking. Not cooking, so much, but baking is a hit. I think they like to enjoy the fruits of their labor in the end...





Somehow in the process, Max ended up completely on the island...
This picture makes me laugh.
