Despite VBS each morning, the afternoons were long. Two years ago the boys and I started to make Summer Bucket lists. The first year it was awesome and last summer it tanked. So this summer I have set out to have the best summer yet! We made homemade lollipops! Yum
We also made special Rice Krispie treats that aren't really Rice Krispie treats at all but rather Fruit Loops and colored marshmallows. We also made a fun dessert from two simple ingredients: a white cake mix and a can of soda pop! Although we only had a yellow cake mix on hand, the cake turned out kind of meh. We used a yellow cake mix and orange soda. (Side note: I had neither of these ingredients on hand and 'borrowed' them from Grandma's kitchen!). We also had Grandpa over for dinner because Grandma had book club. Lucky Grandpa got to taste test the two ingredient cake! Ha! Overall, by my standards the week was so-so but by the boys standards it was no fun at all! They don't seem to understand that the it item of the week was supposed to be VBS! Oh well! At least they heard the Word of God and got to feast on sugary treats!
By the time the weekend arrived, everyone was thankful for Dad to be home for a couple of days! On Saturday, we joined Mimi, Buck and Luke for the movie Angry Birds and some lunch at CPK. While the movie didn't make my Top 10 list (or 20 for that matter) we did have a great time.
Sunday morning was a blur. We had Camp Wow meeting and church. Then it was off to Jump Street for some jump fun! After running a few quick errands it was finally time to head home. You know how summer nights go! It was another late night and finally our heads hit the pillows!
Here's to week 2!
