Muffin Tin Monday-Soup and Sandwich Style

After a weekend of picnics and pigging out on tons of goodies, we are enjoying a nice soup and sandwich lunch today. Here it is:

We have Goldfish crackers, chicken noodle soup, almonds and raisins, grilled cheese sandwiches and tomatoes. Delicious!

Flag Cake

Every year for Independence Day, we make this yummy cake! I know I am a day late posting it, but YOU can make it anytime! It's very simple!

You will need:
1 yellow cake mix
1 large box of Jello
1 cup of boiling water
Cool Whip
strawberries
blueberries

Prepare the cake according to the directions on the package. Allow it to cool. When the cake is cool, mix the Jello and boiling water. Poke holes all over the cake and slowly pour the Jello on. Refrigerate the cake for about 10 minutes. When it's chilled, cover the top with Cool Whip and decorate it with the strawberries and blueberries!

Moving on through the alphabet!

Bath Time Paints

With summer activities in full swing, we have been collecting our fair share of dirt! These girls like to dig for worms, make mud pies and collect rocks just like their big brothers always did. They don't, however, want to stop their play to come inside for a bath! So, when the day is done I must wrangle to two dirt collectors in to scrub away the grime. But, I have found a new tool to make this process a bit easier....bath paint! It's very simple,

2 TBS. liquid soap or baby bath
food coloring

Mix it together and allow your little ones to paint a masterpiece on the shower walls! When they are finished, just rinse it down the drain! Bath time suddenly has become a whole lot easier:0)

Mm-Moon

I'm here! I know I have been absent a lot recently and I thank all of you who have stuck around. Our summer has started off being very busy! I hope that I have the new schedule down so that I can post regularly again. Whew! I am starting back slowly with an addition to our alphabet book. Mm-moon! Very simple! I'll be posting a few more letters this week so that we can soon wrap up this book:0)

Catching Up on Awards!

Wow, I have been so busy lately! I just can't seem to fit everything I do into one day. Unfortunately, blogging seems to be the thing that is left out of my day, more often than not. I hope I can start getting back in my groove soon. With that said, I have some awards to claim and some awesome bloggers to acknowledge!

This first award I received from the lovely Anissa of Our Chaotic Life! I was not that long ago that I found her blog, but I am loving it! Thank you so much Anissa! I really appreciate it:0)



I received the next award from Michelle at Lollypops and Lizards! Michelle is also fairly new to me, but I have enjoyed reading her blog as well. Thanks Michelle!


This last award is from my dear friend Vickie from Vickie Scrapbooking and Tidbits! We have been bloggy friends for quite some time now and I really value her friendship! Thanks Vickie!


I do apologize for taking so long to post these awards. That does not at all mean I don't appreciate them! Thank you so much for your kindness:0)
