Mini Road Trip

 

Today was a rare treat for the monsters. We went on a mini road trip! Hubby was in the mood for some chicken. OK, easy enough there are KFC's all over. Well he decided to do something different and go to a KFC over an hour away. So unlike him. He is very predictable, aka Boring, haha. This is right up my alley though and wish we could do things like this more often.
After we ate, we made a few other small stops making our day out lasting about 5 hours. It was really nice, and I highly would recommend doing this any time you get the chance. Hopefully Hubby enjoyed himself enough to repeat something like this soon!

KFC

Some on the road "energy" :)

Yes, they like it too

But be warned if you "caff-up" the monsters. You get this, hahaha

B'Loonies

I'm sure most, if not all, of you have played with B'loonies at one point or another in your life. I haven't seen them in years! While at the grocery store the other day, I stumbled across them and thought "My monsters would love these!" I was completely right! Maybe too right, because they actually argued over them. Neither of the older 2 seemed to be able to master blowing them up, so I had to blow them. Skylar wanted to play with them while Sebastian loved popping them. So fun times ensued, haha. I couldn't blow them fast enough. I only got a small pack unsure of how well they'd go over.... well, yeah. I need to buy more and quickly!
IMPORTANT!!!!*If allowing a small child to play with these, please supervise. They are labeled as 6+ and can be a choking hazard.
Here are some pics, of course!

4 little tubes and a straw

The idea was to show Sebastian how 2 colors make another color when mixed. He wasn't interested in all that, so we just played, :)

You add the goo to the tip of a straw

Then you blow...

Sebastian struggled so he had me blow them up.

He loved how they were "touchable bubbles" as he called them

Skylar convinced him to toss one in the air

He loved the bigger ones best

But popping them was his favorite part! :)

  

Father's Day Gift

Father's Day came again... hmmm, what to do? I know! He loves asking to have his back scratched, etc so I have the perfect thing! I saw this t-shirt idea a long time ago in a magazine. It'd be perfect for my hubby.
Skylar drew a road on the back of one of hubby's t-shirts. Sebastian and Skylar colored a card. They wrapped it up w/some hot wheels and wah-la! Best part? Driving on Daddy's back..which was the real gift, haha. If any of you have had a child drive their car on you, you will understand how fun this is! Here's some pics!

Cupcake Time!

Cupcakes!!!
Skylar, Sebastian, and their cousin Cassie decided to make some cupcakes. As usual, we do boxed mix and canned frosting. This time was Devil's Food and vanilla frosting. They had a blast!

Color Me Mine Results

For those that read our Staycation events, you will remember Skylar's choice was Color Me Mine. After a week, you go back and pick up your finished pieces. I was very happy with how ours turned out!
