The Mediocre Mom's Guide to Greatness

Sunday October 11th, 2009

Your day has returned.  Spend this day doing whatever you would like.  Rest, Relax or even Recreate (with nice music in the back ground of course).

So I did not end up going to an Oktoberfest event yesterday.  Instead we finished shopping for my husbands costume and Elese threw a HUGE fit in the fabric store!  Lucky for us we ended up getting to go out to dinner for a nice little break from the kids.  Our date night that I planned on Wednesday was Friday night and a success.  It’ always fun to be active together and racquetball provided that.  We got exercise and then ate some frozen yogurt.  Did you go on your date or to an Oktoberfest event?

Today’s Activity:

Oktoberfest is sweeping the nation, or so I’m told.  This will be my first year participating in an Oktoberfest activity and I’m excited about everything except the Bratwursts…yuck!  Your community just might have some sort of organized Oktoberfest activity going on and you and your kids should attend.

Note:

If you can’t find anything then take some time to teach your kids about Oktoberfest (don’t worry, I had to look up the details about it too) and end the night with bratwursts, or hot dogs if you prefer.  Also, check out our Community section, you may just be able to find some information on an Oktoberfest event near you.

Evaluate:

I’m thinking I really need to invest in a melon baller.  My kids are still having trouble eating their apples but they don’t seem to mind just licking off the caramel.  I think I may have cooked the caramel a little too long because it is really hard.  I’m not sure if we will make it to tomorrows Oktoberfest event because the kids are starting swimming lessons and we have a few other things going on but I’m still hoping we can make it up to snowbird for just a few minutes.  I hope your caramel apples were a hit with your little ones!
