Project Popsicle

This Summer we have a big list of fun things to do and one of them is to make homemade popsicles each week.  This is something fun for the kids, they love coming up with the different flavors we will make each week and of course helping me make them.  

Don't worry this was a totally supervised project, no finger cutting involved

For our yummy Strawberry Yogurt Popsicle we cut up some fresh strawberries and mixed it up with some yogurt and a little milk.  Sorry not sure on exact measurements as I am an eyeball kind of girl. After blending everything up it was time to do the dirty work and fill up the popsicle holders.  My kids fight over this Job. 

Once that was done I asked my kids the unthinkable.  I asked them to be Patient and wait for them to freeze.  But it was definitely worth the wait as they were pretty darn yummy.

The kids think this week we should do chocolate so I will have to come up with a yummy idea.

Summer Fun List

Summer is here and my little boys are wanting to be fully entertained.  So we sat down together the other day and came up with a list of all the fun stuff we should do.  Some of it things we would normally do but a lot of really fun places and things we have never done before.  

 As we do each item we have been taking a picture so we can do a book at the end so they have memories of their fun summer. 

I can't just let them only have fun, so I have been trying to sneak in a little learning while we are at it.  The kids each helped me come up with a list of Places, Things & Animals that they would like to learn about.  So I have found a Story, Craft and some facts for each of these.  I find this is something good to do on a rainy day.  While the youngest doesn't really understand the facts he does like the stories and the craft so I find it is fun for all kiddies. 

Throughout the summer I will give some updates on all the fun activities we have completed off of our list.

What have you been doing to keep your kids active throughout the summer?
