Canada Day:
After watching the second Star Wars movie (finally convinced the girls that it wasn’t a boy movie and they both enjoyed it. Now they are asking for their very own lightsabers. Anyways, after the movie we headed out to enjoy some sunshine before coming home to make ring popsicles.
This past weekend we started to make popsicles. I was cleaning and found some molds. Our first batch was plain juice and when they were chosen over freezies we kicked it up a notch by adding cut up melon to the juice. Another hit. So, when I found these fun ring style molds at a dollar store I snapped them up and we broke them in. Our first batch was diced cherries (the ring’s jewels) topped with a mix of black cherry greek yogurt and apple juice. Another hit. The girls are asking to try banana fudgsicles next.
Weekdays:
Other than Katrine’s skating and Elspeth’s swimming lessons, we have been spending a lot of time crafting, playing in the kitchen and going to the park. It has been relaxing except for the day when Elspeth developed a stomach bug…well that was relaxing considering it brought more screen time. That said, the four or so hours we spent at various parks today were much more my speed.
Kites:
This evening there was a nice brisk breeze blowing so we broke out the kites. Unfortunately we were not able to coax the really cool dragon shaped kite into the air. The girls took it in stride and had a fabulous time flying the cheap Care Bear one.
