So I've had a lot of random little blog post ideas floating around in my mind.  And if I can figure out how to expand upon them a bit better, they'll be great posts.  BUT.  I have not had time to do any expanding, so I'm falling back onto one of ma easy posts that shows you what I've been up to recently.  ^_^


Probably the biggest thing lately was our late Valentines Day Topeka weekend!  My dad heard about an Anne of Green Gables play that was being performed there, so he and my mom decided to get a hotel and just call it a late Valentines Day present, since we didn't do anything on the before-stated day. 
The play was adorable.  It was short and I so wanted it to be longer, but I really liked it!  My favorite two were the girls who played Anne and Diana.  They really did a good job!  I was impressed, the actor for Anne actually died her hair red!  No wig for her, she wanted to be as authentic as possible. 


(The stage)  Sorry, picture-taking during the performance was prohibited or I'd have more!

Also while we were there I picked up the book Divergent at Barnes and Nobles.  O.O  Guys, I couldn't put this book down!  I literally started reading Friday afternoon, and then read on and off all day until I got in bed and read until twelve.  The whole concept is just so intriguing!  It's very similar to the Hunger Games, and has quite a bit of romance near the end, but nothing inappropriate.  Unfortunately out of the ten-some books they have at the library, there are 18 HOLDS.  No joke.  The new movie coming out for it has certainly sparked people's interest!  And for good reason.


Noah is THIRTEEN YEARS OLD.  Nope.  Nope.  Nope.  Two teenagers in the house, goodness.  Although that's not really saying much compared to many homeschooled families, it's a little odd for us!!



For his birthday, we didn't do much on the actual date (unless you count giving him The Hobbit, which I think is a pretty darn good gift) because this weekend he and my dad and two of his friends are going to Great Wolf Lodge for his special thirteenth birthday. 
On his birthday morning I made these amazing little donut/muffin things.  We couldn't quite figure out what to call them, since they weren't really either.  So we settled for cupcakes.  ^_^

And speaking of donuts, I was having fun snapping pictures at our little trip to Varsity donuts. 



Has anyone been to their donut truck?  I'd love to try their macaroni sandwich or bacon bomb just to say I have!!
