Week in review: Summer

Poolside dip was a HIT!!!

Although we don't have a pool anymore,

maybe we should just change the name to

Summer Time Dip!

Marble painting.

Not sure which he liked more.

The rolling of the marbles or dropping them on the paper!

Spray Chalk... well of the 5 bottles, only 3 worked.

Frustrated momma :(

I used a Pampered Chef stove top recipe and popped some M&M's in there too!
