Fun Things To Do With the Kiddos This Weekend

By -
It's a short list this week -- as we get closer to Christmas, most places are keeping things simple. It's a GREAT weekend for Christmas pageants!

I am running around like an idiot on Saturday:
  • 6AM shopping at Copp's (double double coupon day)
  • Sarah to ballet at 9:30
  • Take Sarah and her friend to the holiday craft brunch at our church
  • Then it is a quick pageant rehearsal
  • 1 PM Off to Kids at the Rotunda (almost across the street)
  • 4 PM I take the girls to a birthday party on Madison's west side
  • We will head home and have dinner (if there was no party food) and the girls have a sleep over here.
Yes, I am nuts - but already have the waffle batter in the fridge for the Circus Waffles on Sunday morning, and have the bag packed with everything we will need on Saturday, including snacks!

Here is what I have rounded up for this weekend:
Saturday

Super Saturday Storytime - at Barn's N Noble Bookstore (10:30 AM - 11:15 AM)

Super Saturday Imagination Storytime is on the first and third Saturday of each month and begins at 10:30am. It's an amazing adventure for children and their family to take together!



Kids in the Rotunda
 Every Saturday October thru May - Overture Center for the Arts
Overture Center offers free arts programs designed for children and families at 9:30 AM, 11 AM and 1 PM. The popular performing arts series for children and families offers a relaxed, kid-friendly environment in which to enjoy a diverse lineup of local and regional musicians, storytellers, jugglers, theater troupes, magicians and dancers.
The 1 PM performances are sign language interpreted. Kids in the Rotunda takes place on the Rotunda Stage. This week--Yid Vicious - Haunakkah Rocks!

Tour the Wisconsin Governor's Mansion!
It's FREE, lasts about half an hour and is also a food drive for the Second Harvest Food Bank (which helps supply a lot of small pantries). Tours run from Noon - 2:00
If you need the address it is 99 Cambridge Road, Maple Bluff (East Madison)...and feel free to bring a non-perishable food item.

 Sunday
 **A LOT of churches have their holiday pageants today -- simply ask around. I know Bethel Lutheran of Madison has theirs at 4PM (Miss Sarah is an Angel).


**Please let me know if I have missed anything cool -
there are SOOOO  many events this December that it is hard to catch them all

Cookie Exchange Parties are SO MUCH FUN - for a few simple reasons:You get together with your friends You make only ONE kind of cookie and finish your holiday baking, after swapping out You get new recipes You often have snacks or games! That being said, I do one every year - in December, about 2 weeks before Christmas. (You can read about it HERE or see a TV segment I did on it http://youtu.be/-iUR7GlAiQw ). I thought it would be fun to have a collection of 30 fun recipes to try - one a day in November - so you can be prepared for that holiday baking!

I know this sounds strange -- and yummy at the same time, LOL You need to know the family history to "get it". We are part German, part English, part Irish and part Tennessee Hillbilly. Seriously. Did you ever see that black and white movie of Gary Cooper's called Sergeant York? Yes, my family comes from the Dyer/Yorks -- same family. Some of the "family recipes" are too far out there for even me to try... But this is a pot luck favorite. SUPER Easy and SUPER Easy to make healthier. We choose the middle of the road option, LOL You need:  1 package hot dog buns (8 ct) 1 package hot dogs 2 cups chili (or 1 can) 2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese "fixins" That's it! You could do gluten free or whole grain wheat buns, turkey or tofu dogs, vegetarian chili, vegan or light cheese, you get the drift. We do white buns, cut them up and place in the 9x13 pan, like you see here: Then you dice up the hot dogs ...
