Slip 'N Slide.....Wham-O!

There is nothin' better than a Slip 'N Slide on a spectacular summer day. Especially when the kids have the brilliant idea of propelling themselves down a Little Tykes Slide and onto the Slip 'N Slide track for even faster fun! The after dinner sun provided some fantastic light in which to catch the gorgeous colors! Again, please to enjoy....

Kids Cook!

Tonight was the kid's first cooking class and what better way to kick it off than with a ridiculously gooey, nasty dessert? Rocky Road bars and all with no help from the resident adult! Please to enjoy...

Summertime!

Summer is finally here and with it all of the excitement, relaxation, and fun! Unless you're a parent and are the one having to plan, organize, and entertain 3 very "bored" children. ;0) Then vacation is really nothing but work!

So, my niece is spending the summer with us and we have a TON of fun things planned. Everything form craft days to cooking classes, field trips to movie days, a weekend Olympics and a week in which the kids will learn everything about Haiti in prep for Moise & Phoenix's July homecoming. Their crafts will be those of Haitian influence, their cooking classes will center around Haitian food and each day will bring a new Creole word or phrase and little bit of 411 about the country.

The kids are REALLY looking forward to cooking classes and want to film it and make their own cooking blog. We'll give it a go, so check back here for the link to that blog once we get it up and running.

Jasmine's first weekend here consisted of pool time, playing ball in the backyard with uncle Jeremy, Kung Fu Panda (which ROCKED), the awesomeness of 3D chalk on the driveway, board games and FUN FUN FUN!

Check out the pics below and check back often for summer fun updates.
