It is August...the "dog days of summer" are here. Cooler weather is months away and though the stores are starting to put out boots and jackets, we have a lot of hot ahead of us. It is brutal walking down the sidewalk to check the mail and anything more strenuous than that just has to wait until after dark!. I am a fan of the out of doors. I dread being housebound but I am not going to wish these summer days away......I am just remembering how important it is to be creative when the heat drives you inside by 9 a.m.
So when the kids visit we become creative. Brooklynn is a crafter at heart already. Five minutes after she arrives she wants to know what our activity for the day will be. That is when I am grateful that Hobby Lobby has put all of the summer crafts on clearance!!
Baking ranks high on our list of thing we love....and cracking eggs is her favorite. She has it mastered. Not a shell in the batter.
Perfect!!!!
Of course, we swim....
An Olympic athlete in training!
Really do not even know what to say about this!
Back inside some independent play while Gramma fixes dinner. No All American princess would dare be caught without a tierra while she rolls her automobiles down the ramp.
Too soon it will be fall and play will be different. Out doors again and loving the walks and the falling leaves....time for that later. Today we embrace creativity!
