Wordless Wednesday–DMNS

For our annual get-together, my childhood friend and I (and our 5 kids combined) met at the Denver Museum of Nature and Science this week. The kids had a great time, and it’s good to see Eileen and her kids.

Wordless Wednesday–Kahlen’s New Skates

Since Daddy has started speed skating again, Kahlen wants to also. We made a deal with her that if she stopped biting her nails, we’d buy her a pair of inline skates.

 

They went to the skating rink tonight too, which was a good thing because she couldn’t go fast enough in the house :-)

Wordless Wednesday - Drive In!

We're currently waiting for Monsters University to start at the drive in theater, which is conveniently located 1/2 a mile from our house. In fact, Tim finished up cleaning the kitchen and walked over to join us.  This counts as our date night this week because our babysitter is watching Shane :)

Wordless Wednesday–Kool Aid Soda Pop

This is on our Summer Fun! board of activities to do this summer. I wasn’t sure how it was going to turn out, since I changed the recipe a bit. Instead of adding these to Sprite, which is already so sweet, I poured club soda over them in a pitcher. The kids *loved* them! Granted, my kids are limited in the amount of sugar they have, so this worked great for us :) I’m guessing by the time they’re 10, I’ll have to use Sprite instead.

I made five 1/2 batches of kool aid and froze them. I couldn’t find any green kool aid, which frustrated my daughter, lol. A 1/2 batch made just over two ice cube trays, which is more than enough for us. I then just layered them in freezer bags and stored them for use later. I’ll be making more after I remember to buy more club soda, since we still have a ton of ice cubes. I might even use them for our lemonade stand that we’ll get to at some point!

Wordless Wednesday–VBS

Please tell me I’m not the only one that has a dozen blog spots written in my head, but no time to actually write them! I’ve been working on a quilt for Shane, birthday invitations for Nate, next year’s Picture This! calendar, and a host of other things that I can’t even remember.

Oh, and this week is VBS at our church, which is always fun and very tiring! Here’s a few pictures from the first few days. And hopefully, I’ll get some of those other posts out of my head this week too!

Nate had to miss the first day due to illness, but he recovered, hooray!

My crew. I have four girls, about the easiest crew I’ve ever had!

Games today. This is Kahlen’s best friend who lives a few doors down. We’re glad she is able to join us!

I’m sure I’ll get more pictures, but no guarantees that I’ll post them any time soon. I mean, I do have a four-year-old birthday party to plan!

Wordless Wednesday–Tour De Parks

I’ve decided that we’re going to go to as many different parks as we can this summer. According to the city’s website, there are 38 parks with playgrounds. So far, we’ve been to three different ones this week!

You can follow our #tourdeparks adventure on Instagram too :-)

Here’s a few random pictures from our park adventures this week:
