Week Three

We are on week three of Summer Break. Despite the quibbles that erupt here and there as the girls play, overall things have been going quite well.

Along with lots of time at the pool and in the sprinklers, we have been spending a significant amount of time on art projects.

Usually our art projects are pretty typical - clay, beads, paint....you get the idea. But sometimes typical just isn't going to cut it.

So out came the foaming body soap/shaving cream. By the way, have you discovered this foaming soap yet? Seriously, it is a great way to encourage your children to suds up and get super clean. Usually the girls want to take a tub -- but if there is resistance, simply mentioning the "shaving cream" generally does the trick.

OK - back to art....we had fun with the foaming soap, paper and (of course) polly pockets. First it was a skating rink for the polly pockets, then it was some sort of pool.

What are you all doing to keep the kids occupied inside?
