Searching for Summer Fun

Oh, me, oh, my - how the year did fly! Preschool is almost over - Miss M's last day was today, and J's last day is Friday. The school year ends with a picnic lunch - and then we are on the road to Grandma's! Mister J has been quite a handful for Miss Caroline this week, but it seems that's the norm for the entire class. I think the kids realize it's the end of the year (classroom decorations are coming down, lots of art is coming home) and they are a little off-kilter.

As I ponder the summer months ahead, I'm trying to think of projects I can complete and fun things I can do with the kids. I am imagining a clean house (ha!), healthy homemade lunches (already making a good start on this), and lots of fun activities and projects. I wonder what happens when art and lunch collide....




Mmmm.... tasty......

Wishing you a great summer - tasty treats, outdoor fun, and art projects that are easy to mail to Grandma, Grandpa, and all the aunts and uncles!

UPDATE: Shortly after I finished this post, J came down from his not-so-quiet time to tell me he was hungry. I asked him what he wanted for dinner - hotdogs! I did not make the octopi (octopuses?), but I did make hotdog flowers with ketchup centers (mustard for mine). I took a picture so you can see how it turned out, but won't get that posted tonight. Exhausted....
