Kid Friendly Friday - Easy Puzzles

I realize this picture does not make us look like the healthiest eating bunch but these box tops were saved over a long period of time - at least 2 weeks. :) Anyway - I cut each one into 3 or 4 pieces, put them all in a pile and let Abby put them all back together.

ready to go snacks - Kid Friendly Friday

I get so many great ideas from Carisa's blog and here is one of my favorites - a bowl full of snacks. This stays in the pantry on a low shelf (as opposed to the chocolate that stays on a very high shelf). When Abby wants a snack she can go get one her self. If we are headed out the door and need a snack for the car - she can pick one or two real quick. To see more kid friendly ideas check out I Blame My Mother.

Kid Friendly Friday - yarn

It's amazing what adding a little bit of yarn and glue will do to liven up drawing time.

Kid Friendly Friday - Slime Style

Making slime has been my favorite summer activity so far. I had as much fun playing with it as Abby did. It is very simple to make and will last for a few weeks in an air tight container. Go here for the recipe. The animals always seem to end up playing with us.

Go Ape Card Game

Abby got one of the coolest games for her birthday. Go Ape is like Crazy Eights but instead of asking for the card you need, you have to act it out. We had lots of laughs playing with cousin Emily when she visited us from Canada last week.

Thanks Grandma Gail for this great game. :)

Yoga

Abby and I spent the morning doing a little yoga recently. I got this book from Barefoot and it is a great introduction to simple yoga poses.

This little cutie is much more flexible than her momma. :)
