Oh, What Do You Do in the Summertime...

Oh, what is a Mommy to do in the summertime when swim lessons, vacations, and piano is over? The books have been read a million times, we're starting on too much TV and video games, and sometimes the weather won't let you play outside. This Mommy is trying to get creative. Here's what we have been doing these past couple of weeks to help make the days where we have nothing planned, and the weather is not cooperative, a little less "boring".
We've made new treats like these mini peanut butter kiss cups.
We've had tea parties!

We had a daytime sleepover complete with movies and popcorn, jammies all day, makeovers with pedicures and hairdos, makeshift sleeping bags, and pillow fights. Eliza thought the pillow fights were hilarious and loved having everyone with her on the floor all day.

We made our own puppets and put on a puppet show.
We've dressed up and had dance parties.

We checked out the crazy hail and learned all about precipitation.

We've done silly fashion shows.

Most of the time it is nice outside, and when it is, we have been making great use out of the newly fenced and grassed, safe, less-allergenic, yard. Though there is still some work to be done the major stuff is complete and it's just heavenly!!!
