One of the things my husband and I would like to start doing is planning a little get away with the boys about once every 6 weeks. Now that we've found Priceline, it's actually doable to play an overnight stay at a hotel with a pool. So when I saw this post from Cheerios and Lattes for swimming things, I had to share. Really, what better place to work on teaching your kids to swim then in a small, "shallow" pool without a current or lots of waves. :-)
How about some cupcakes??? Check out this recipe from Life, Etc. Don't tell my family but I think I might take these as my dessert to the family reunion . .. I could frost them once I got there :-)
This idea from Blue Skies Ahead is something I think I'll add to my August Summer Fun plan. The boys are really into things like worms and bugs right now. (Me . . .ummm not so much HA)
This next idea is actually a whole group of ideas all dealing with activities that help keep the kids cool. The post is from Mom to 2 Posh Lil Divas and includes link-ups. I plan on printing many of the ideas to use in August but also to have for future years in our summer fun binder.
I'm going to end this week with a book idea from I Heart Crafty Things. I love finding new books to add to our library and I love the looks of this one - plus she gives a great craft idea too.
