Cake mix cookies...and balloon party...

It's been kind of a low-key day today. The boys slept late, so we got a late start. We made cake mix cookies, how easy these are! I let them decorate them. Garret would add a chocolate chip to a cookie, and then eat one, add one, eat one..lol.. Then they wanted to eat all of the cookiesl, but I KNOW I would be in trouble come supper time...then we blew up balloons. We put the dogs out and the cat ran and hid and we had a balloon party, which really turned out to be a "see- if- we- can- hit- grandma- in- the- head- with- a- balloon" party..they had a great time and so did I. Then we went outside, going to rain a lot tomorrow, so they played on their scooters and got bored and came in to watch cartoons. I hope you had a great day!

gator clackers

We went for a long, long walk, well, the boys rode their scooters. It's just a beautiful day, total sunshine...I love it. We came back and made some gator clackers....something quick and simple to annoy the dogs...

I hope you are all having a good day!

Fish bowl lanterns

Today we made fish bowl lanterns. They were kind of difficult, using watered down elmers glue and tissue paper....but I think they did a pretty good job. They are outside now getting some exercise...think I will go join them...

I bought some glow-in-the-dark glasses, so we had some fun with them at the birthday party as well...lol...Shelley looks like a deer in the headlights in the first picture....then we had to torture the poor dog too....good times.

Chalk Universe and scootering to the park

It's such a beautiful warm day, so we decided to draw a chalk universe on the driveway..things went pretty well, but they lost interest by the time we got to Jupiter....we then scootered to the playground at the school...so we got some good exercise too...I'm having a great time..
