This summer seems extra hot lately! I have been trying to find things to do with the boys lately indoors which is hard to do -- they literally start bouncing off the walls and furniture. So eventually I have to suck it up and we have to venture outside. I came across an idea to put a big tablecloth out in the grass and put a bunch of shaving cream on it and let the boys play. Older kids could do a type of 'slip n slide' with it, but since that would require me to demonstrate it in order for them to get it, I opted not to do that. So this past week, I hit up the 99 Cent Store and got the tablecloth and a bunch of shaving cream and set it up for the boys on Friday. You can kind of see it here....
The boys in their underpants starting to get into it!
Luke got busy 'painting' himself....
And also 'painting' their car...
Ben just tottled around and let us 'paint' him and then just played in the car!
He then started eating it, which lead to a good few dry heaves, which required a nice hose wash out. Then he was better :).
Luke had a ball!
The most fun was when it was time to get the hose out and clean up! It was like a mini car wash. They LOVED this part!
Well we got through another hour of the summer! This was a quick, easy thing to do so I recommend it. However, make sure you have towels and water nearby for any shaving cream that gets in eyes or mouth.
This week is going to be a long one since there is no camp, rising temperatures and daddy working 12 hours every day. Luckily we have plans to go back to the bay house by Thursday. Thank goodness!
