Carson's Artistic Endeavors

Someone left the markers out and Carson found them. "Nuff said...

Cano, Cano, Cano!

Earlier this summer Cole picked out a new book all about volcanoes. Well, Carson ended up loving the book and talking about "canos" all the time. We showed them clips of erupting volcanoes on YouTube and Carson would beg to watch them over and over saying, "again cano, again cano". I remembered seeing a volcano kit at Michael's and Alan and I decided to get it for the boys. They were super excited! After having to wait a few days for the plaster to dry, Cole and I painted it and then when Daddy came home from work we went out back and erupted it. Oh my gosh! The boys were so giddy with anticipation, they squealed when it started to bubble up. Good times! We probably erupted the thing about 20 times and it never got old. But then the vinegar ran out and the fun times ended. It was a fun family evening! We played with the volcano a few more times but sadly it just didn't hold up to the pressure and the bottom burst out and we had to toss it in the trash and bid it farewell.

No Love From the Sev

July 11th or 7-11, the day Cole had been waiting for; FREE SLURPEES! Not the case this year. When we pulled into the parking lot we were greeted by the above sign. But my son, ever the optimist said, "Oh well, there is always next year". Of course Mom shelled out for a Slurpee anyways.

Krispy Kreme Donut Tour

A couple of weeks ago (yes, I'm that behind again) Our playgroup met for a tour at Krispy Kreme Donuts! Carson was so excited hopping around the store saying" donut, donut, donut" over and over and over. They received balloons and hats from the manager and learned how the donuts were made.

Then they got to dip their donuts in chocolate icing and load them up with sprinkles. This was definitely the best part of the tour, well maybe the second best part...

The VERY best part was getting to eat the yummy donuts!

FUN AND YUM!

Summer playgroups are the BEST!
