Just Filling Our Summer Days with Fun

I embrace my messy hair, unswept floors, and overgrown grass.  We are parents.  It is so much more fun than being a house keeper.  Besides everyday business, this is what we have been up to this summer:

Sophie pleased with her Walmart plastic bag fairy wings and wooden spoon wand Mom whipped up

Canned oodles of strawberry and raspberry jam

Skimmed strawberry foam is a well loved reward for canning.

Over 100 degree weather outside = climbing the walls inside

Food colored vinegar dropped on baking soda for fizzy fun

Sitting in their box fort, eating popcorn, and watching DVDs

Learning geography - house to world.  Hoping to decrease Sophie's question of "Are we in Texas?"

Coloring and learning where it is appropriate to color

Making homemade play dough with all-purpose flour and Kool-Aid (ingredients we consider to be non-edibles anyway)

Took in several shows offered at our local library (Mother Goose, here)

Reading stories galore
