Lazy Days of Summer...

   Oh, those lazy days of summer- NOT!  
   We have been running a mile a minute here.  How about you??
 Tonight we made Chocolate Spiders with this fun book...


   Look at how the book breaks up the recipe for Moms and Kids...

   And this is the final product!:)

   We have also been busy meeting friends for Storytime at the library...

    Making forts!  Katie and Mandy are in it right now having a sleep-over.:)

   Having picnics at the park and visiting the ducks and geese...

   It is HOT!  And it's only going to get hotter- sigh...

    As long as I have willing subjects for pictures, I am happy.  Oh, and a Cranberry Tea at Sonic works, too.:)

    Jim's Sister use to make chocolate spiders. Good thing I am not at your house to be tempted to eat them! I am trying to give up sugary snacks for a while and see how that goes. Wish me luck :o}

    I am a bit afraid of spiders, but not those kind! YUM! And I have got to get to Sonic and try that tea. You've mentioned it before, so I'm gonna have to add it to my list of things to try :)

    We're creeping up to the triple digits.....SO NOT looking forward to our months of sweltering heat!

    I think we used to call those cookies bird nests. Yes, chocolate by any other name is still choclate and it's still yummy to eat!

    Hi Lori
    I could just eat one of those chocolate spiders. They look yummy.
    Great pictures from the park. Looks like you had a fun time with your friends.
    Is it really hot there now? We had a hot day yesterday but today it's so cold the heating came on!!

    How cute is all of that?!! The Chocolate Spiders look YUMM! (although just saying the name "spider" gives me the heebie-jeebies!) I love making forts and tents inside the house...it's so much fun! Isaiah loves it too.

    Hope you guys are having a great week!!
