A day of craftin’

Today after nap my sweet boy and I did some craftin’!

We made sun catchers. The top is a beach ball(they’re talking about balls and balloons at school.) The bottom one is a cotton ball cloud with rain drop suncachers attached. We actually made the cloud and rain suncatcher when it was perfectly sunny today but it started raining right before supper! Thank God for the rain!

These are fireworks that we made by taping several straws together and bending the ends to look like a star. They turned out a neat tie dye color!

Oh what fun we have!

Heading home from school today Nate saw a flag on a building and quickly brought it to my attention by saying, “I see an American Flag!” Sometimes the smallest things mean so much to me. I was floored that he knew what an American flag was! Although, I shouldn’t be surprised because if you ask him who the president of the United States is he’ll tell you matter-of-factly, it’s Barack O-Mama! That boy cracks me up!

After lunch and nap I asked him if he would rather go to Hippo Hop or the toy store. He opted for the toy store so off to Toys R Us we went! There are so many things to see and play with there!

Afterwards we stopped for some ice cream at the ice cream store. He got a chocolate cone and I would say he DEFINITELY enjoyed it! Smile 

He got a bear from the toy store and had to buckle her in the seat before getting out for ice cream. Sweet boy!

When we got home we headed out once more to go see two beautiful ladies and enjoy supper with them. Janie and Maddie are always fun to play with! Maddie is getting so big so quickly!

It just started to rain here and the sound is lulling me to sleep! We need the rain!

I'm back!!!

I am back after a week of fun in the sun with my Daddy, Mama, and Sami at Daytona Beach! I hope everyone enjoyed their holiday week!

Before I left for the beach I baked some yummy goodness. Whether you call them Chess Cake, Chess Squares, Chewy Cake, etc. I call them YUMMY!!

Here is the recipe for the cake/blondie goodness!
1 box yellow (butter) cake mix
1 egg 
1 stick melted butter 
Mix and press into greased and floured 9 x 13 inch pan. 

Beat until smooth: 1 (8 oz.) cream cheese 1 box powdered sugar 1 tsp. vanilla flavoring Pour over cake mixture and bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes or until light brown.

Easy peasy! For other recipes that I like check out my board on Pinterest called "For the love of food..."
