Memorial Day and activites.

Happy Friday readers! Fridays are like icing on the cake, but a Friday with a 3 day weekend attached? That's like a ridiculously large slice of cake. Delicious!

I should first say thank you to all those who are serving, have served, and will serve in our nation's military. Memorial Day is about honoring those who have lost their lives protecting our freedom. It's a humbling day and it's hard to believe their is only one day to honor them. We should remember to be thankful everyday. Shout out to my godparents, who proudly served. Also shout out to their son Benny and his wife Sarah. Benny is in the United States Air Force and Sarah is his biggest supporter. Very proud of these folks.

Check out this babe!

 

Part of my family ; ) Katie, when will you ever admit that we are related? Admit it!

With the long weekend here, I wanted to do some cool stuff for Charleigh. She is busy these days. She loves to do... stuff! I want to keep her entertained, but want it to be something stimulating or educational. Sure Mickey Mouse Club is awesome now and again, and the iPad is a lot of fun for her, but we need old school stuff!

We've painted with pudding. I've blogged about that before and it was a blast. All I had to do was get a piece of poster board, a cup of pudding, and let her go to town. With a long weekend coming up I'm planning some fun activities ahead of time. I just found a Kool Aid play dough recipe from this blog! Is play dough educational? Just tell me yes.

Ingredients:

Flour: 1 cup (you can add more or less to get right consistency)

Water: 1 cup

Corn Oil: 3 tbsp

Salt: 1/2 cup

Koolaid : 1 package

 

Directions... mix it! Duh.

I also bought a $10 kiddie pool. Now this is how you live the good life folks. Enjoy your Memorial Day and float on...
