Lalaloopsy Land

 As you know, this one LOVES her crafts.  On Friday, I just had the girls and asked BB what she wanted to make.  First, she wanted to make Lalaloopsy Paper Dolls.  So, we broke out the coloring book.  She colored the girls, I cut them out and glued them to cardstock.  Then, she said they needed pets.  So, we broke out the Littlest Pet Shop coloring book and did the same thing to some cute little animals.

And then, BB said they need houses.  So, we ventured into the Recycle Bin and found some cardboard and cereal boxes.  We built a house for the girls and one for the pets.  To make them look pretty, we wrapped the boxes in wrapping paper.

AND THEN...she said they needed a garden.  So, we attached the houses to the inside of a Top Ramen box, wrapped it in paper and she colored the bottom green (for grass).  Then we punched out some flowers out of construction paper and poked holes in the center with a safety pin, and slid them on some toothpicks for the garden.

TA-DAH!  Our Homemade Lalaloopsy Land turned out amazing!  She loved playing with it and it took a total of 2 hours to create!  Whew!

Tropical Storm AP

It was HOT and HUMID this past week AND the East Coast was facing a Tropical Storm and Hurricane.  On Thursday, I just had AP and we spent LOTS of time outside playing with the hose.

Where's the water?

I think it's broken...

That's more like it!

 He loved filling up the buckets, dumping them out and filling them up again.

Food and Fun from Week 1

AND...They're Back!

It was such a great week!  I got to have all 3 of these cuties for 3 days!  They have all gotten so big over the summer and I was so worried that the 2 little ones wouldn't remember me.  They were a little shy and a little sad when their daddies left them....bu that wore off quickly and it was back to play time as usual!  I got some new toys, so they had a blast checking them all out.  And we busted out the "Wiggles" for some dancin':

 I love these kids!  We just played and played and played all day!

Another year over....

This one flew by fast...way too fast!  These 2 came to me just itty bitty 6 month olds...and now-

And we were so happy to get to play with Little Miss this year.  We made leis on her last day!

Hope we can get to see you all a little bit this Summer!  But I also hope all the mommies and daddies get to have lots of time with you!  Enjoy Summer Time and see you all in August!

Woo Hoo!
