Summer Fun

So this summer besides having craft days on monday with my friends, i think that on tuesday i will have activity days with my kids. i want to do something fun with them instead of just enduring the summer. i want to enjoy it.
so-so far i have a few ideas of things to do-
in particular order....
wacky sacs (blog home to come later) they are play dough filled balloons
home made chalk
slime
soap balls (again- blogs home to come later)
edible playdough (thanks Kenzie for the idea!)
"spoon chimes"
but thats all i got. i need like 9 more activities. super fast, easy, fun, and cheap ones.
if you have any ideas let me know.

thanks!

Clothes Pinned Pictures

so i am proud to say that this- is an origanl idea. that doesnt seem to happen too often here. i am just waiting for my photographer to get here to take our family picture.....

Supplies Needed:

Clothes Pins

Paint

Mod Podge

Craft Paper

Paint Brush

first ya get the giagantic clothes pins- i got mine at hobby lobby i think i spent $20 total.

take them apart and prime and paint them.

then you cut and measure your paper to match what you want where, and attach it with the mod podge.

super easy.

it really only took 15minutes to do the whole thing after the paint dried and

TA-DA!

we are putting a picture of the kiddos, the family, and me and LoveBug. i also have rub-ons that say 'FAMILY' that will go on the center one. all in all i think that for around $20 they turned out rather cute!
