Summer Fun Fest Linky Party-Week 3

I hope you all had a great weekend! We had a fabulous weekend! The hubs and I got to attend a Vanderbilt baseball game Friday night with my dad and sister. It was awesome!

More to share about that later on;o)

And Saturday, we all attended my dad's company picnic at A Cowboy Town near Nashville. We had a blast there. The kids LOVED it! They got to ride horses, play fun games, & play on water slides.

I'll have some pictures to share with you later on this week....hopefully:o)

Now, let's get down to business.:o)

Here are the highlights from last week's party:

Summer Fun Fest Kick Off

It's time to kick off our Summer Fun Fest. I am so excited to see what all you guys have to share. Are you excited? Just think of all the fun things our children are going to get to do this summer! 

I'll start off with sharing what we have been up to....
Last week, plans fell through with friends, and there was a threat of storms, so I had to come up with something to keep the babies occupied.
My friend Deanna hosted a Christmas crafty party last year and served some yummy marshmallows. She posted a link to these Homemade Marshmallows(a Martha recipe) on her blog. My kids love marshmallows, and I knew they would be really excited to help make them. I took care of the mixing and spreading part.

 The next morning I let them cut out their favorite shapes. E chose a bat cookie cutter for "Batman."

 S.R. chose a heart...typical little girl;o)

 Once all of the marshmallows were cut out, I coated them with a little confectioners sugar to keep them from sticking to each other.

 (We added the sprinkles just after spreading the mixture out onto the cookie sheet.)

I sent the kids outside after we got through cutting out the marshmallows
(before the storm hit;o))
and I got busy making a tent in our bonus room. They were dying to come back inside to see what the surprise was.
Nothing fancy, but it did the job!

I set out a picnic blanket with their lunch

 and of course their desserts:o)

 Can you tell they were excited about their tent?:o) I wish I could have captured S.R.'s reaction as well:o)

 They got down to the business of watching Peter Pan and chowing down on some grub.

Not a bad way to spend a yucky day, eh?
So now it's your turn! Show us what fabulous things you have planned for your summer.
