I was looking through pictures from the month of June - and found many indoor activities to keep ourselves out of the hot sun and busy - since we can't comfortably picnic or hike, we need to get creative.
I haven't done many crafts lately... the kids were begging to do some sort of craft... so I searched Pinterest, and tweaked it to work with the supplies we had - sun mobiles...
Making cupcakes...
Kid produced tea parties...
Star Wars Movie Night! We watched one of the Star Wars movies and had sugar cookies (shaped like the Millennium Falcon and Tie Fighters) with Yoda Soda floats (lime sherbet and homemade lime soda)...
A good old fashioned blanket fort... it stayed up for several days - and the kids actually slept in it overnight a couple of times...
More journal writing (this fizzled out of our routine unfortunately shortly after this... but some writing in the summer is better than no writing! I'll take what I can get)...
The girls really like helping in the kitchen - occasionally I allow them more independence in making meals - they made us grilled cheese sandwiches for dinner one night... mostly on their own. :) Claire is in the backyground, kept happy with a pile of grated cheese and a sippy cup - haha
And more summer movie days (with messy summer hair)...
It's not easy to keep a group of kids happy, learning and busy all summer, but you do a wonderful job. They are lucky children. I hope that someday they will fully realize what amazing parents they have.
ReplyDeleteBunny cookies and sun mobiles, good job! I also spied a super paper cutter, that's the secret to a successful project. Next get a Table Saw!
