Summer Fun or Cures for Cabin Fever.....

wow.....2 blog posts in a row.....must be a record:)

my girls are grown so their cure for cabin fever would most likely be 

SHOPPING:)

but when they were younger, we sometimes needed something to shake things up a bit.

I told you about our annual "Camp Mommy" awhile back...

but here are some little ideas that I think might also be a big hit!

1.  water balloons...always a winner! 

 why are some people so against this?  

we had a blast each and every time....

and notice I said "WE".

water balloons are not just for kids:)

2.  the trusty lemonade stand.....

 or cookie stand, cupcakes, candy....all yummy:)

3.  okay, this is SO cool....make your own "I Spy" or "Find It" game.

 (sorry....I couldn't think of what you call these)

anyway, fill a water bottle with rice and little toy trinkets from around the house.

set a timer and each child gets to see how many items they find.

LOVE this one:)

4.  Button Art!  Isn't this pretty?

 I think this calls for a whole blog post someday, don't you?

but for now, buy a whole bag of cheap buttons and let them go at it.

you could draw a design and let them fill it in, make letters....

 Hey....this is a great Christmas gift idea!!!

5.  And for a healthy, delicious snack...

fruit in a waffle cone!  

 (okay.....what brilliant person thought of this?:)

there you go...ideas for the kids who are bored, for a rainy day 

or a day that is just TOO DANG HOT to play outside! 

(we have a lot of those down here:)

and remember.....YOU have fun TOO!

XOXOXOXOXOX
