Trains

I know we had a surprise birthday party for Ken's dad last Saturday, but yesterday was his actual birthday.  We had dinner at our house with Ken's dad and sister.  Then we watched the OU game.  We were rooting for them and they won.  I was also watching the score on the OSU game.  A good day for Oklahoma, both teams won.  All our children were happy with the wins!
I made the easiest peanut butter cookies to eat.  They are so good - bonus!  This is the recipe:  one cup of sugar, one cup of peanut butter, and one egg.  Mix it all together and put a spoonful on the baking sheet.  I crisscrossed and smushed the ball with a fork dipped in sugar.  Then bake it at 350 degrees for about 15 minutes.  It makes about 2 dozen regular size cookies.
Today we met Cassie and Trina and their families plus Kenny's two boys at a place out in the country called Loco Trains.  It is a neat place with lots of train tracks and trains that are one eighth scale.  So we got to ride the trains with our grandsons.  It is a nice ride over bridges, through a tunnel, and it is very fun!  It is only open on the first Sunday of the month.  Ken is very into trains and enjoyed this a lot.  He got a tour and found out he can become a member for a small fee.  Then he can come out and work on them and after a bit he could even drive the trains!  I found out we can make arrangements to go there for a field trip.  Hmm!  I will talk to the girls in the neighborhood on Tuesday.  I think the kids will love it.  There is a playground and we could take our lunch.  The weather was so nice today to be out riding a train.  I enjoyed seeing the grandsons and our granddaughter Katelynn.  Boys and trains, no matter the age boys are fascinated by them.

Yesterday I got eight burp rags done and delivered.  One thing off the list.  The crib skirt is completed.  Two things off the list.  I have a good start on the bumper pads, but need to ask Karri a few questions about the ties, so I have to wait until I can talk to her.  I got the cinnamon rolls started.  The dough is in the fridge.  In the morning I will half it, roll it out, put the cinnamon mixture on it, roll it up, slice it, bake it, make the icing, ice them, and eat them.  Ken just said the dough is trying to get out of the bowl.  Yikes!
