Collin spent another week (9-3 Monday through Friday) at the Audubon Society for Nature Detectives Camp. It was similar to the last camp - a lot of hiking, learning about nature and animals, and a few crafts.
 |
| Collin made a leaf print tee shirt during his last camp, so he asked the director if he could make one for Katelyn this time - the director was nice enough to let Collin make two shirts. Collin was so happy! |
 |
| Collin made another melted crayon wax candle. I love this one. |
 |
| He attached felt handles to the other side of this butterfly. |
I made Daphne Oz's coconut milk fudgsicles earlier this week, and I am the only one who likes them! I have been happily enjoying one each afternoon - they are ALL MINE - ha ha haha ha!
 |
| Collin's face says it all - this is gross, Mom! Reagan said she liked it, but she only had a few licks before she covered it and left it in the freezer where it still sits days later. |
Reagan gave one of hers to Ellie next door, so she has completed her goal of doing something nice for a neighbor.
Collin and Reagan had a tennis lesson this morning, and Tyler came with us. I wish we had Tyler there every week - he was a huge help teaching the lesson and a REALLY HUGE help picking up all of the tennis balls at the end of the lesson.
Tyler has a tennis tournament tomorrow morning and we all plan on going. I will try to post pictures tomorrow.
This was one of those weeks that I seemed to be driving someone somewhere constantly. On paper, it doesn't look like I overscheduled any one of the kids this summer, but collectively they have been SO busy that I feel like all I have done is drive all summer. I am happy that the next few weeks are not as hectic so that we can spend some time relaxing (ha, like I do that) at the pool and enjoying the end of summer.

I hope you do get some down time! It's amazing how just an activity or two per kid turns into no free time for mom!
I love that Collin made a shirt for Katelyn! And that melted crayon candle looks amazing.
That does sound busy, but fun.
We still never got to the pool. It has been so hot. Of course, today was the day we had planned to go, but wouldn't you know it...it was too chilly. LOL!
aww love that Collin wanted to make Katelyn a shirt!! That candle is really cool!! Yum on Popsicles you don't have to share ;-) Love the sun catchers. I hope to see some pictures from the tennis tournament!
I know the feeling of not seeming busy on paper, but then looking up and discovering it's way too crazy.
I love all the sports that your kids play! My girls love tennis as well! I wish I knew how to play so that I could play with them!
I want to try those sun catchers with my girls!
York Mints are my Daphne Oz coconut milk fudgsicles...no one else like them...but ME!! :)
LOVE the melted crayon candle...very creative!
Those butterfly wings are impressive!
Wow! You have had a busy week!
I was just thinking that activities for multiple kids add up quickly into a lot of driving (and a lot of money), but the important part is that your kiddos enjoy them.
