Kicked off the summer with memorial weekend at Jason's parents. Enjoyed pool time and relaxing. Then the kids enjoyed "we do" camp at Lee's summit west hosted by the robotics team. They built Lego projects and did fun crafts. They really enjoyed it. We had a garage sale thurs, fri, and sat. The kids were busy with tball in the evenings. Saturday we went to a birthday party and then my dad took the kids for a sleepover. They went to Lee's summit downtown days and had a blast.
We dyed eggs for the first time and had a awesome easter bunny this year. She does a lot of work and the kids are always so excited about their baskets and egg hunt.
We had so much fun on spring break. I probably over filled our schedule but the kids loved every minute. I was tired by the end. We ate at Chick-fil-A and had a play date at a friends, did a slime craft at Michaels, went to skyzone, the zoo and Lego land!
Today has been a day of joy and perfect family memories. A day dreams are made of and when I am old today will be a day to think of and remember how wonderful my life was.
We started with breakfast at Panera and a little last minute shopping for presents for the dogs. Then we built a gingerbread cottage which the kids quickly destroyed and ate! Played video games which was Noah's choice of activity. Had early dinner which consisted of sausage and cheese and other little snacks. I used to have this when I was kid and it was fun to share the tradition. Then we did a shopkins craft that was Kahlan's choice of activity and it was the biggest fail ever. My go with the flow little girl took it in stride and said that's OK it was actually kinda funny. An absolutely wonderful day with my little family.
Augustin and Amelia's birthday! They turned 7 which I just can not believe. We went to main event and out to dinner to celebrate.
Toddy was the kids first day on break and we started off with dentist appointments. Still no cavities! Then when we got home and we made Christmas scented Play dough! The base is 2 ingredients cornstarch and lotion then I split it into 4 parts and made sugar cookie, gingerbread, peppermint, and cinnamon spice scents. Hot cocoa would have been an easy and fun one and since I didn't love the gingerbread I may do that next year instead.
Sugar cookie dough I used almond and vanilla extract.
Peppermint I used essential oil and green food coloring
Cinnamon I used cinnamon and red food coloring.
Gingerbread I used cinnamon, ginger, and nutmeg and yellow and red food coloring.
The kids had the last day of school before winter break today. I think they are looking forward to the break and really need it. They are obviously so excited for Christmas! We did a fun glitter ornament craft when they got home. No mess glitter!
