launch!

anxiously watching the spaceX launch today!  

breakfast popsicles

my friend beth turned me onto this idea and it is a fun breakfast treat.  i thinned out some greek yogurt with water, cut some fruit and added some fun cereal to a popsicle mold.

absence makes the heart grow fonder

this afternoon we took some time to have one on one time with the kids.   they needed a break from each other and we needed some quality solo time.  jarad took bowie to the river to throw rocks in the water and ryder and i explored the yard.

mashers

grandpa's mashers are the best!  no recipe, you just keep adding butter, cream cheese, sour cream and season salt until you just know they are right.  ryder approved!

cherry season!

washington cherries are the best! i swear by the end of summer we will have eaten our weight in cherries, yummm!

gingerbread house

in may, why not?!?!  cause we don't know what day, time or month it is anymore. 

magnet play!

gave the kids a bin full of corn kernels, magnetic bingo chips and some magnetic letters along with magnet wands. 

bowie liked doing a search for letters and ryder found it mildly entertaining to pick up the bingo chips with the wand.  i will try this one again with bowie at a later time without ryder for some letter recognition practice.

fruit loop "art"

i have a bag of leftover fruit loop cereal that i bought a while back for some fun kids activities during this stay at home time.  trying to use up the last of them, so bowie and i made fruit loop art today.  just paper, glue and cereal to make catepillars and rainbows!

bananas for bananas!

equal parts...

of making your head and your heart explode!

beading

new beads and she is making all the jewelry!
