scrappy sunday 7/17

today is actually more of a make it monday type post. but i wanted to post it today...ugh. nevermind. i'm confusing myself. HA!

i wanted to share some of the crafty things i've been doing with the girls. nothing revolutionary, but some of you have asked me to share, so share i will!

i've been on a tear of actually USING my pinterest pins. yes, that's right. lots of them. who knew that i could actually turn these ideas into projects. HA!

here are some breakfasts i've made for the girls lately...both from my for the chickies board.

i do special breakfasts for the girls every couple of weeks. the bottom one is supposed to be submarines (note the straw periscopes) but it totally looks like fish. HA! oh well, i know a 3 year old and a 5 year old that didn't even notice!

luckily,there's lots they don't notice as i am prone to messing things up! :)

 

now onto the slime i made the girls using metamucil. oh yes, you heard me right. haha!i found the recipe here, on wonder time. 

1.In a plastic jar with a tight lid, have your child shake together 2 tsp Metamucil and 1 cup water for 1 minute.

2. Pour the mixture into a small saucepan, bring to a boil over medium heat, and cook, stirring constantly, for 3 minutes.

3. Transfer to a bowl and stir occasionally as it cools.

and when you're done, you get something both really COOL and really GROSS.

the girls were FASCINATED with this stuff and played with it forever. warning, it's super messy! :)

 

another thing i wanted to recommend was ashley ann's world's best bubble mix. we don't buy bubbles anymore...they just don't cut it. these bubbles are the BEST!

the last things i wanted to share were some fourth of july crafts we did. again, i found all of these ideas online and pinned them.

they can be found on my fourth of july board.

 

first and foremost, the most important thing when embarking on a craftstravagaaaaanza is to paint your fingernails in festive holiday colors.

but i'm assuming everyone alread knows that (Duh!) so i'm moving on.

first up were pasta and glitter fireworks.

i don't have a finished photo of these b/c ummm...i'm pretty sure they are still drying somewhere?

 

yeah, that's right. these didn't work out so well, harper actually said "oh NO! this is like the lionmousemonster craft". HEHHEEH! but you know what? we had FUN.

then we made firecrackers.

 

i saw this one on pinterest, but also on my friend dav's blog. i love it when i find good toilet paper roll crafts, as we save them all and have SO Many!!!

 

 

didja notice??? we embellished our rockets? firecrackers?

whatever...we embellished them with pom pom trim, feathers, and washi tape.

you bet we did!

so there you have it. craft overload, yes???

hope you enjoyed!

and in case you didn't, here's one last non craft-related RANDOM picture that makes me laugh really really hard.

happy sunday y'all!

xoxo
