Snack of the Day

No pics of the snack, it was Trail mix again. Granola, cheerios, raisins, pretzels, um, and I think that's it.

But our crafts were interesting! We made sidewalk chalk. It was MEESSSSSSSSY! I will be chiseling plaster from the floors for days! But the kids sure thought it was neat!

And I went running again today, I've been running between the time I get of work and when Nicole gets done with swimming. By the time I pick her up, I am beet red and exhausted!

So I've been exhausted alllllll evening!

Since SACC started.

Snack of the Day

Remember this slime I made yesterday?
It made this tart, sweet jello jiggler of snacks'-sorts.
The verdict? The test-tasters were divided. Some of them loved it. Some of them thought it was just okay. Some of them wouldn't even try it!

Craft! We made mini scrapbook keychains! The kids made these out of empty cereal boxes, paper, wall paper, hole punches, and key rings. Aren't they neat? They can write notes, draw pictures, whatever they want.... On the go!

Tomorrow we are making sidewalk chalk. And Trail mix.

Snack of the Day

Today we had a really yummy snack! I took a slice of cinnamon raisin bread, slathered on some peanut butter, and topped it with thinly sliced apples! I brought my Miracle Blade from home so that I didn't have to use a plastic knife to cut the apples! (My kitchen is less than adequately stocked!)



I started making tomorrow's snack! It's called 'sparklers.' A gelled-like jello jiggler. It's made with sprite and OJ concentrate! It should be good, but it looked kinda like ecto-slime from the Ghostbusters!!!

For crafts, we started making a TON of pictures. 1,000 to be exact (hopefully we'll get that far!). They are to be included in the invitation for a fundraiser in October.... Something like that! I'll take a pic tomorrow, it slipped my mind. I had a zillion things to do today!

Snack of the Day

I made my first batch of granola today! And the 2nd... And the 3rd... And the 4th... And the 5th!!! It was delicious! I decided to throw in a handful of raisins in the last batch and it was really yummy!


The theme of this week is Kitchen Chemistry. Our first art project this week was an experiment to find out which ingredient was in the paint! Red paint had flour, Orange paint had salt, yellow paint had sand (mmmm, NOT an ingredient!), and pink paint had dish soap in it (ALSO not an ingredient, but definitely used in the kitchen!) The kids had fun painting with various substances!

We also went to the fair this weekend. Military days! With our Military ID, we got into the fair for FREE, plus a discount on the ride-armbands! We had a blast! Nicole had her face painted and my kiddos had a great time!

We were going to go out to dinner with a friend tonight, but she forgot, so we saved some money and had dinner at home! A DELICIOUS dinner! I thought I'd make grilled chicken Caesar salad, but I had no Caesar dressing. I coated the chicken with a poppy seed dressing, put it over lettuce, and topped it with bleu cheese, shaved parmesan, and grape tomatoes! Plus a side of fresh baguette! It was delicious!!! My palette is ever bored!

Snack of the Day

Today's snack was yummy! Honey-wheat English Muffins (toasted) with whipped cream cheese and raisins on top! The kids loved 'em! But it was served with water, which was a little disappointing!



In crafts, we made 'fake stained glass' pictures! I covered a piece of cardboard with foil and the kids drew a picture or pattern with a sharpee and filled it in with paint! Some of them were very interesting!
