Now that school is over...

So now that school is over, like so many moms, I wonder, "what am I going to DO with the kids all summer?!?"

 We try and spend as much time outside as possible -- when the weather is not 100 degrees and humid, as it was all last week.  This week was so much nicer!

 We do fun "experiments".  I picked up a little "rain catcher" at Tuesday Morning.  They love it!  So we leave it outside on the porch.  And after a heavy thunderstorm, they go outside and measure how many inches of rain we got.

TWO inches! 

 She was so excited.  Then we made a rain catcher notebook and decorated the pages.

 And we experiment with water and food coloring - mixing colors!

 She gets that red + yellow = orange!  And so many others combinations...

 Of course little Eliz can't be left out!

And when it's too hot to be outside... I let them burn off energy by... CLEANING!!!

They LOVE to dry mop the floor!  It's win-win for everyone, LOL!
