Last year during the summer while Chloe napped, Connor and I would do a craft a day. He looked forward to when she would sleep, so he could have some special time. Now Connor and Chloe look forward to Elise's nap time. Here they are making jelly fish.
Connor shows his jelly fish...we hung them over the banister to dangle.
Next we glued tissue paper to canvas and made turtles out of empty fruit cups and tissue paper.
The kids painted red, white and blue stars and I added them to the wreath I put together. I was introduced to deco mesh wreaths at a Super Saturday event and have made a few since and plan on making one for each holiday/season.
Peter cut out these fun patterns for the us to paint.
Chloe wanted a cantaloupe, so we painted her one today.
Elise turned 4 months old last week!
Friday Peter and I put wonderful film on this window which totally reduced the amount of heat that was let in. Then his dad came over and they put film on our skylights too. Not having AC makes our house downright miserable for a couple weeks of the year. This film made the house tolerable today as it was 99 degrees outside.
The kids also enjoyed some pool time in our backyard.
Sunday we went to Sean and Amy's air conditioned house. Chloe enjoyed cooling off in the fountain. She's sure going to miss that fountain when they move next week.
This little girl continues to crack me up. She often sleeps with socks on her hands and this night she insisted on having boots on.
