And a bunch of trains, a few dinosaurs, and some zoo animals.
On Friday, I kept my two grandsons {ages 5 and 2} all day while Kitty and Mr. Wonderful had a day-date.
From around 9am until after 6pm. That’s a lot of squirming, running, jumping, and attempted flying..but it was all good.
When I know I’m going to have the the boys all day I try to have an idea of what we can do.
I had planned to go to story time at the library, but it wasn’t happening.
On to Plan B – Remember this – well it left me this lovely empty box which I
When D-Boy and T-Bone arrived, there was an immediate rush to the
Ideas were flying every which way. What kid can actually resist a box? {FYI - Here’s a fun box book for kids}
It is a big box and making it into a house/fire station/garbage truck/airplane takes some planning.
There was a squeal when I told them they could have UNRESTRICTED MARKERS FOR BOX REPURPOSING.
It was busy town for a long time.
Unrestricted markers can do that for kids.
Eventually, it was on to other things, like making...
Ice Cream for dessert after dinner.
Shhh, there’s actually no cream or milk – instead, I’m using kefir and yogurt.
Of course, we scraped the bowl, licked the beaters, and talked about how good our ice cream was going to taste.
D-Boy is certain that it will be, “The best ice cream anyone ever had.”
Later, we spent some time outside exploring the wonders of nature and even touched a large caterpillar.
When there was more sun than shade it was back inside for some lunch and a little rest.
This is how D-Boy rests when he’s at my house…
It’s more of a restful feeling that you get from being creative.
And, in Texas during the month of August, there’s only one way to really cool off…
…in the sprinkler!
Then, it was back inside for some Veggie Pasta Sauce over Gluten-Free Penne {which the boys unanimously agreed we must have for dinner}, followed by “The best ice cream anyone ever had.”
Altogether, a wonderful way to spend a hot day in Texas.
