Anticipating summer coming, I got tons of fun stuff to do all together (in May) and was looking forward to a fun summer. When summer hit, we all were sick for about three weeks and it made me so mad I lost my groove!
As the summer had moved on, I have pulled out a few of the things I wanted to do and I put them in front of Ethan and Emma and they loved it.
Here are just two things we've done in the last week.
We froze princesses and super heros in cups and then the kids had to free them with their squirt guns.
Emma's princesses
Ethan's super heros
This was an awesome project and it kept Ethan and Emma occupied for over an hour, and they worked together and got along which made me a happy mom!
Today we had some errands to run, but Jackson needed a nap and he's more important than the family reunion I'm supposed to be making stuff for, sorry Grace and Mom!
Instead of errands, the kids pulled out paper, fuzzy ball things, pipe cleaners, glue, scissors and anything else they could find and went to work.
Emma spent more than an hour gluing and cutting and coloring.
Awesome, right?
Ethan was determined to make a pirate patch, bandana, and hook.
The hook
ALL of Emma's mess!
I sure do hope I can get to the rest of my list and do at least some of the stuff on the list before the summer's over and I really hope next summer we won't be sick the first three weeks!

No worries, I haven't made anything for the reunion either! I am bringing cool things for the drawing, but they're definitely not homemade since I just had a baby. And you didn't have a baby that long ago either, so I think you're off the hook, as well. (Thank you Jackson!) I am so going to copy your idea of freezing toys in cups. They would love that!
Hey Karen! I just found your blog and it's so fun to see your family and to hear about all the fun things you are doing. Your kids/family are beautiful!!
You are such a fun mom, I'm jealous! I love your frozen cup idea and your crafty supplies so the kids can be creative. Summer is hard since they get bored so easily. I'm glad to hear you are all feeling better now.
