summer

I am hoping once the school year starts I will get better at this than I have been. Three of the four kiddos will be in school. We have kept pretty busy this summer so my projects all remain incomplete. I find myself finding so many awesome blogs that I spend the day blog hopping saving a bunch of ideas then starting each of them. Today I am going to make a daily schedule in hopes to keep on track. Its also a day of reaaranging the cabinets in my kitchen. Lucky me right. I am only doing this because i am a sucker for kitchen appliances and just bought a waffle cone maker. I am so excited and cannot wait to make homemade waffle cones. For some reason I am not able to upload a picture I click the box and nothing comes up. I hope to add pictures soon.

well.....

I know it has been far too long since I have posted. We are really enjoying summer so much that my projects have been on hold. That and trying to find a new house. Things have been a mess around here. What can I say having four kids sure keeps me busy. LOL

Our town has a be a tourist in your own town day. I took advantage and took my older two kids. Here is a picture of them at the zoo.



Next up roller sakting at our local rink. Needless to say we have been customers ever since. We LOVED it!

park playdates.

Today we decided it would be fun to take the kids to the park. Well I knew there were a ton of projects I could be working on. I still decided iot was play time. My kids will only being little for so long. Here are some of my favorite pictures.

Blog hopping.

I have to say that I have been in such a slump lately. Not quite sure if it was the winter months here in Michigan. With that said I have been blog hopping for the past few weeks and it has helped. I have decided to make things for my house. I never knew you could do so much with spray paint and glaze. Here is a preview of things I have been painting :)

Homemade fruit snacks

I was blog surfing and came across a blog with a recipe for hommemade fruit snacks using chocolate candy molds which I happen to have a ton of. I thought this is perfect. I will show you a few pictures than post the recipe.

All we needed was 1 -3 oz box of flavored gelatin and 2 - 1/4 oz packages of unflavored gelatin, water and candy molds. (we used two candy molds)
Place 1/3 cup water in a small sauce pan. Sprinkle the Jello and unflavored gelatin over the water. Let sit 5 - 10 minutes. (If you like chewier gummi candy add in another packet of unflavored gelatin.)

Place sauce pan over medium heat and stir until gelatin is dissolved, about 2-5 minutes. When mixture is liquid and all gelatin has dissolved, remove from heat. Let cool a minute and then pour into a container that is easy to pour from. I use a small ceramic creamer pitcher.

Fill molds. If you save the inside of the advent calendar for projects like do, it works perfect! The sheet of star molds worked a bit better than the bears because they are a bit deeper. However, I must say we were just needing an activity so our standards were pretty low--- we thought they all turned out great!
Allow to cool completely, about 20 minutes. They may be placed in a refrigerator for about 10 minutes if the kids are eager.

Once cool, the backs can be lightly dusted with corn starch, if desired.
Notes: My son felt the blue ones weren't flavorful enough. Next time we will try 2 boxes Jello, 3 packages of unflavored gelatin and 1/2 cup water.

sleepover

Last night Adriana had a little friend spend the night I knew I had to have something fun for them to do. I went to the store and bouht chipboard album kits for the girls to make. Then I went ahead and decided we would use the left over paper to make washer necklaces. Needless to say they had a blast. Here are some pictures from last night.
