Cooking, Baking & Lovin: June 2010

Easy Father's Day Craft!

For Father's Day my kids wanted to draw their dad a picture of themselves. I found a head template

HERE . I trace this onto cardboard, cut it out, and had the kids trace the head onto construction paper. Then they turned the head into their head and wrote a message to their dad.

I think they turned out cute. My kids were very proud of their work!

Happy Father's Day Weekend Everyone.

Lots of Love to all the dads out there!

Today is our first day of summer so this morning over my coffee, before my three kids were up, I was thinking about what we are going to do for two months? I was in visioning the perfect summer and what I realized was that I want a simple summer. A summer with as little scheduled activities as possible, and just some good old fashioned summer fun! You know the summer you remember as a kid. A summer full of Popsicles, swimming, water fights, bubbles, bike rides, parks, and picnics. All the great things that make summer, summer. So this year we are going to have a good old fashioned SIMPLE SUMMER!

Today to kick off our simple summer

~We signed up for a summer reading program at the library. Yes the library! The good old fashioned library! Simple fun I said.

~Got out the baby pool, squirt guns and pool toys. At ages 7, 5, and 6 months it's amazing how much fun kids have with water!

Will post more simple summer fun ideas as we enjoy our summer vacation!
