Ocean Food

We are enjoying our first week of Summer School with Mom!  Yesterday I taught the Princess how to do a simple dot-to-dot and she begged for more.  She was so proud of her fish bowl that she made around two fish!  She even took extra time coloring her fish just the way she wanted them.

We had a pretty busy day yesterday, so we didn't dive into any projects.  We did, however, plop down some beach towels in the middle of our living room and have a beach picnic.  We had turkey and cheese starfish sandwiches, Goldfish crackers, and some apple slices.  The kids had a blast and I can see them asking to do it again in the near future.

Today we had octopus hot dogs on a plate in a sea of fish (not pictured).  They were also a hit!  The one time it's okay to play with your food is when your mom turns it into something too hard to resist!

We're going to knock one of our bucket list items out today:  making cookies!  I think this is more for Mom's benefit than the kids.  I am craving a good old oatmeal cookie.  Nothing better to do on this cloudy, rainy afternoon!  I may even pop in Finding Nemo!
