Project Day

When the boys had scout camp we missed a project, then I forgot to get the things for another, so today was a make up day. 

We first tie dyed shirts. The kids put rubber bands on them, then I helped them put the color on. The instructions said to have boiling water, so none of them wanted to touch the bottles. They didn't turn out too bad. 

Next we started rock candy. I have tried this one other time but it didn't work, we'll see if we did it better this time... although that will take a few weeks. 

 Next we shaving cream twister. Since we were going to play in the water after it was a perfect time to do it. 

 They did pretty well at first. Beck had the hardest reaches. 

 While waiting for his turn Camden decided to rub the cream on himself....

 And everyone followed. They liked it and liked getting messy. 

 Then wash off time with balloons. 

 We had rubber gloves because of the shirts, so Beck filled one with water and it didn't pop for the longest time. 

The had a fun afternoon and best of all it kept them busy for a long time.

Lederhosen

When Brad was 3 or 4 his parents bought his lederhosen in Europe. When the boys were younger we put them in it, but I can't find those pictures and they hated having them on. You can't deny which boys look like Brad with this picture. 

 Jacks was a lot happier than the boys were to put it on. They may have been a little small though. 

Jacks was also really impressed that Brad watched Chip and Dale when he was younger. It's one of Jackson's favorite things to watch. 

Scout Camp

The boys had scout camp last week and they loved this year. Since they go to the older one they were able to do a few things that they thought were better. They shot bows and after this they shot bb guns. Now they can't wait for next years day camp.

Alien Day

We had the kids tell us things that we used to do that they miss doing and one of them was movie days. This Sunday we had an alien movie day. We watched "Monsters VS Aliens" before church and they requested mini hot dogs wrapped in bacon. 

 After church we watched "Aliens in the Attic" and Guardians of the Galaxy". We had a few alien treats to go along with it. 

Alien cupcakes

 Alien goo popcorn and alien blood drink. The kids loved it and liked spending the whole day together. We have set the bar too high for next movie day.
