#42 Make Grilled Cheese Rolls

Wow!  This was so obvious but yet totally over shot my mind.  Smashed bread with a slice of cheese rolled up and grilled in butter.  How delicious is that!?!  I totally loved them and thought they were so cheesy!  Even better is they were perfect to dip into tomato soup!  It was a win, win for me!  My children on the other hand didn't seem to enjoy it as much.  They didn't even finish one of their rolls :(  Well maybe next time.  My daughter did eat most of her tomato soup so that counts for something right?  Well I don't know about that but a snack for mom sounds great! 

#41 Dance In The Rain

It has been such a hot summer here.  We have gone with soooo many days without rain.  We just happened to be doing an event at church when it started raining a little.  We didn't think it actually would!  It only lasted for about 5 minutes but during that time my family decided to do the chicken dance.  I know we looked so silly to those people outside but we had a blast.  We even had a couple of people who decided to join us including my niece.  It was a time that I hope I never forget.  Who cares!  I'm going to live like there's no tomorrow :) 

#40 Yogurt Chips

So the kids helped me squeeze strawberry banana yogurt out of a ziploc bag on to wax paper.  We made little dots  out of the yogurt and then covered with plastic wrap and put it in the freezer.  I have to say that I liked the yogurt frozen better than out of the container and my daughter couldn't get enough of them.  My son on the other hand wanted nothing to do with the frozen circles, LOL!  I had to get out a containter of yogurt for him because he wouldn't eat the frozen pieces.  Well at least he tried it and I found something healthy that my daughter loves!  Yes!!!!

#39 Nature Scavenger Hunt

I decided that it was finally cool enough to take the kids outside so we drove to a nature park.  I thought that would be the perfect place to go on a nature hunt!  We found everything on our list but 1 and even started a different scavenger hunt which we decided we would finish at another park at another time.  I didn't think that the kids would be in to it as much as they were.  Even my son, 2, was finding different items.  It was nice that our list also had pictures to help!  Maybe tomorrow we can finish up our lists :)

#38 Painting Treasure Boxes :)

We found these cute little boxes at the dollar store and we decided we would paint these boxes as part of our summer bucket list.  We have had to change some things on the list because of many different variables but we are going to reach 101!!! :)  My kids love to paint so this was such a fun activity for them both.  Look how great they did!!! 

No more pictures :)

#37 Making Crayons

Peeling the paper off and breaking up the crayons!

My son kept breaking them without taking off the paper :)
The children got bored with this activity pretty quickly.  "Do I have to break any more crayons?"  It was so funny!  The fun part is going to be coloring with them!  I will update once they are completely cooled down and we get a chance to use them.  I can't wait!  :)

#36 Make Rainbow Cupcakes

This was one of those duh! moments for me.  I was like, "how do they make that cake look like a rainbow?"  Wow, let me think....Oh!  Add food coloring!  LOL!!  Sometimes I don't even understand myself :)  Anyway!  The children loved this activity but of course they love anything that we do in the kitchen!  They helped mix the cake and add the colors.  Then we scooped the mix in color by color and the cupcakes turned out bright and beautiful!  We used the funfetti mix from Pillsbury!  Top it off with some chocolate frosting and you have some amazing deliciousness!!!!!
