Balloon Rockets

 We painted with animal feet.

So pretty.

We played with shaving cream and water beads. 

 I taped a string up. I taped a ballon to a straw and threaded the straw onto the string. I would blow it up and he would let it go.

We also took a trip to the park where he fell in a mud puddle.

Bombs Away

These were the sun catchers we made earlier this week. Place cookie cutters on a sheet of wax paper. Fill each one with glue. Add a drop of paint and mix with a toothpick. When they are dry cut them out.

We made a tambourine. Bo colored two paper plates. I dumped in some beans and stapled them closed. It made plenty of noise.

Next we made water balloon yoyos, but they hit the ground before I got pictures. Just fill up a water balloon and tie on a rubber band.

 While Bo napped I made some sponge bombs. I cut up 3 sponges into 4 long strips for the big ones and 2 sponges into 5 short strips. I made 2 rows of sponges, pinched them in the middle and added a rubber band to the middle. They fanned out into a ball and were ready for play.

 Drew hit me two or three times.

 Bo liked the big ones.

 He tried to hit Drew.

Both boys enjoyed them and I can use them again next summer.

Bo played with his box at the end of the day like usual.

Day 90

Day 90 is me in a hotel.

Ok so I think it was technically a condo, but it was the closest I had.

Angry Birds

Before it got hot or rainy we painted with bubbles.

I put some food coloring in some bubbles and Bo blew them at the paper. 

 Next we made cupcakes.

He was in charge of sprinkles and used an entire bottle. He loves the sprinkles.

 I made a homemade angry birds game.

 I made some beanbags. They have tails by the way.

 The pigs were painted soup cans.

 Bo played for well over an hour.

He loves his angry birds.

I put shaving cream on the counter with some cars. He did that for maybe thirty minutes.

When he was done he played with his pirate box while I cleaned up.

Day 89

Day 89 is my dream car.

I would love a red Jeep Wrangler soft top.

Day 88

Day 88 is someone I've grown up with.

That would have to be my brother. We have worked on some of the world's "greatest" ideas, made some of the "coolest" clubs, and gone on the "wildest" adventures together. I feel weird when we're separated during things that we normally do together. I'm not looking forward to him going to Rolla for college. Who will lick me, poke my ears, pull my tail, crop dust me, and pick me up and run around refusing to put me down?

Pirate Swag

 I brought some PVC pipe and connecters for him to build with.

He had a blast building guns and "bammers".

We made glue sun catchers, but they aren't dry yet. I will add them in here when they dry.

 I filled water balloons and tied them to the deck.

 He hit them with a stick off a broken toy golf club.

Eventually though he decided to just squeeze them because they exploded faster and got him wet.

 This week I made a pirate box. It is my favorite box so far. The base was black beans. I added some giant money I found at the Dollar Tree, along with some beads and half marbles from there too. The map was a print out from last summer pirate box.

 Now here is my favorite part. I found this at Joanne's for 50 cents. I painted it black and added the X. I filled it with half marbles and buried it in the beans.

 He really liked the map.

Pirate swag.

He played for half an hour before Daddy came home. He wasn't finished so I allowed him to keep playing as long as he put it away when he was done, which he did. 

I would also like to brag on him for a minute. He is now able to dress and undress himself without help, unless there are buttons. We have worked on it three days a week for the last month and yesterday was the very first time he didn't need any assistance. He also puts his dirty clothes in the laundry room. He picks up his activities and takes them to my box downstairs or to my backpack without having to be told.
