WEEK 9

We're nearing the end of our romp around Summer, so I'm picking some dandies for the next ten days. I hope you enjoy them!

MONDAY - water play day! The rains have stopped here temporarily, and the boys have been wanting some water time. I'm not quite ready to run the sprinklers on our already saturated yard, so instead we're using squirt bottles. Just take regular squirt bottles, load and go. They're easier to use than water guns and far more effective! Ready, aim, SOAK!

TUESDAY - Time to get busy in the kitchen. My older son LOVES to make jell-o, so we're going to be whipping some up today. Make it more exciting by pouring fresh fruit chunks (or canned, drained fruit cocktail) into the mix about an hour after refrigeration. Another suggestion is to mix it with Cool Whip and a hand mixer after about 90 minutes...we call it fluff!

WEDNESDAY - LIBRARY DAY! We have to turn in our Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows today (sigh). We're still in book 4, so it was just a status thing to check it out anyway. After our library visit, we're heading home and doing matinee morning...a movie and popcorn snack before lunch! Who's up for Toy Story today?

THURSDAY - We definitely need to get out of the house, so we're taking our bikes to the local park today. We love to ride bikes and we love to go to the park so we're combining them today! And if it is raining today where you are, how about sending some lovin' through a little Monk-e-Mail today? My boys LOVE sending this to Daddy at work and the grandparents as well!

FRIDAY - Time for a family game night! We're pulling out Uno, Connect Four, and Monopoly Junior. The TV is off and the games are out! Hope you join us for the same!
