Summer Arts and Crafts

-

We've been busy filling our summer with lots of arts and crafts, music, and baking.  It's a fun time of year to explore new hobbies and interests and make a yummy treat.  I'm so glad we can do such fun things in the summer time. 

Rebekah is working on perfecting her bread making skills.  She made yummy garlic biscuits and this amazing, beautiful chocolate babka. 
Slime making has become a popular craft/science experiment around here.  I have some professional slime makers around here.  

Maeve has been working on costume creation skills.  She invented a new cosplay category called Fluffers.  She's had fun writing up the rules and guidelines and costume ideas for her fluffers group.  
No summer would be complete without a super awesome piano recital for Maeve and Owen.  They did a great job.  I'm so proud of them for working hard to develop their musical talents.  They are awesome musicians. 


Just because, check out this pretty pre-teen we have on our hands.  Maeve is such a cutie, inside and out!

The kids and I have been working hard to keep our driveway and the driveways of some of our elder neighbors cleared after all of this wonderful snowfall.  It's been a fun wintertime treat.  The ward to the child who shoveled the most for this storm goes to Rebekah!  She's a pretty awesome snow shoveler despite her preferenc...

Xavier is getting down to work on this year's science fair project.  He's testing to see which oil is best for popping popcorn.  It's important science. John and Diana are enjoying playtime inside boxes, because boxes are the best, of course! John is starting to have fun playdates with friends from the neighborhood.  It's so fun to find good friends who share a love in all things Paw Patrol!
