Camp Kim...Day 5

We "studied" butterflies today. We made them by coloring 1/2 sheet of tracing paper (a favorite item in my house right now), putting with a clothes pin and adding jewels and pipe cleaner antennas. Then we went to youtube and watched video after video of caterpillars turning into butterflies. Pretty awesome.

Our American Girls

Here are my girls all ready for church. Sarah didn't have Red, White & Blue, but she did have a cute Pink, White & Blue dress so I had her where that....it was close...right? The hair bow was made by one friend and the dress was a gift from another friend,

they match perfect!

Camp Kim...day 4

It was the FOURTH OF JULY weekend coming up and so we made fun decorations to wear for the weekend. The bracelets are made with toilet paper tubes cut in 1/2 and then slit so we could get them on. We just put glue all over the outside and put ribbon and then tied it on with another ribbon so it would stay. The best is that it is made from stuff I had. Lucy even wore hers to church! These are the crowns. It became a competition of whose was longest "like Rapunzel".

A close up of the bracelets.

Lucy all decked out and ready for the holiday.

Camp Kim...day 3

We "studied" Elephants for the day. Did you know they can smell water up to THREE miles away!?! Pretty cool animals!

Princess Party

Our small town does some pretty cute little things for kids. Once a year the preschool run by Parks & Rec does a Princess Party...this is a BIG deal to little girls!!! I mean, it's like attending a BALL with Cinderella herself. Dressing up, leaving the house and pretending for a whole afternoon with other little girls...it is PURE heaven. Last year and this year I took Lucy out with her two little girly friends and their Mom's for a princess lunch. It's great. I love it. I love my two little princesses!!

Yummy treats...

I made these on an busy afternoon. They are so easy and a yummy summer treat.
I have no idea what blog I saw this on, so maybe if you're a big blog reader you probably saw it.

1. You just cut up a banana
2. freeze them with toothpicks in them (or sucker sticks if you have them?)
3. Once they are frozen then dip them in melted chocolate
4. Dip in sprinkles
5. freeze again.
6. Let them thaw about 5 min before eating.
7. Then spread out a blanket in backyard and ENJOY with your family.
