water balloons and side walk chalk at dusk have keep them busy this week
I bought a bag of water balloons for $1.00 and they have been the best thing since sliced bread for Elisabeth and Jude.
pinned and did the following ... kids edition aka Elisabeth and Jude tested :
{This ... not a hit } { This ... they loved and keep asking to do agin} {This ... hands down their favorite} { This ... I didn't think it worked very well?}
Bless your heart, heat and a newborn are hard on the older littles. I filled a bucket with water and sat it in a small pool with only enough water to cover the surface and gave my boys solo cups when they were young. I sat a few extra buckets around for them to dump into. They loved that.
i need ideas for an extremely active 2 year old and a newborn. and 106 degrees. yikes.
thanks...you're house sounds a lot like mine and i needed some ideas.
I miss playing with both of those! I also like squirt guns.
Such good tips to entertain the kiddos in the heat! I'm always looking for new ideas!
What a perfect way for them to spend the day. Smart thinking!
Oh boy. That was us last year. So hard. I have yet to find a better invention for summer time fun the garden hose. Hours and HOURS of fun right there. And next summer is gonna ROCK! Hang in there momma!
I know what you're going through! It's a tough go for now. I remember nursing Ava and watching the older ones in the pool through the window.
Panicking.
I love how creative you are. Sidewalk chalk and water balloons sound brilliant!
Hang in there.
i love ice painting...just freeze colored water/koolaid or plain. and let them "paint" with ice.
Water balloon and chalk days were my favorite as a child! No doubt, you are the COOLEST mom ever :)
how fun! new follower!

i miss the days my kids played with chalk.
oh no!! that does not sound fun! but look at you figuring out great ways to entertain them! : )
your ballon picture is AMAZING!!!
hang in there-pretty soon they'll all be grown up and i gaurantee you you'll look back -like me- and think, "now how did that happen-weren't we just drawing on the sidwalk? : )
Poor kiddos! Glad you found something to cool them off with in this crazy heat! I can see how they wouldn't love the chalk photos--but what cute pics it makes!
