Happy 4th of July to all of my American readers! Happy birthday to America, our nephew who turns 8 today and my sweet friend Abbie! Enjoy your day everyone!
On the to-do list this week:
I'll be honest and say that we got very few items off last week's to-do list crossed off. Schedules kept changing as the week progressed and I was super busy!
This week is already packed to the gills so I'm not even doing a to-do list of extra tasks for this week. Instead my priorities this week are:
1) Childcare
2) Attending to basic household needs (meals, daily housework, etc.)
I believe these things will keep me well-occupied all week and if I have extra time to do anything else it'll be a nice surprise!:-)
Fun Stuff For The Kidlets!
**These activities are for Big Brother (5 years) and Toddler Girl (14 months). Baby Boy (3 months) enjoys sitting in his Bumbo watching the older kids, tagging along or is sleeping while we do these things.
1) Painting.
2) Trip to the park to play.
3) Bubbles and chalk.
4) Free art play for Big Brother; drawing with markers for Toddler Girl.

Toddler adaptation of Salt-Absorbing Fireworks. Toddler Girl spread glue around on the paper with her fingers, then I helped her shake salt all over it. She loved this, especially getting her fingers in the glue! I think it may be time to break out the fingerpaints!

Blast From The Past: Made this 4th of July cupcake flag for last year's holiday! Simple to make using blueberries for blue, raspberries or strawberries for red and coconut for white!
