"Camp Mom"

 This is my girl. She is only 3. I love her. She is brave and tough. She kicks the horse just to make it "jump" so she can see if she can hold on. No fear in her.

This is my oldest. She is 6. I love her too. She is a thinker. Show her how - let her think about it, and she will figure it out. She rides smart. She is fearful and cautious.

This story is called "Camp Mom" and I started it out talking about my girls b/c this summer has been so much fun. We have done something new every morning. I have been so blessed with these sweet girls. I planned something for everyday, as if we were at a camp. Of , course my girls are too small for camp, but we are home and I can call it camp if I want to!

Okay, first we did a sketch of a picture on Picnik's web site. Here is the picture I used:

 Then we made homemade slushies! Here is the recipe:World’s Greatest Homemade Slushies (Courtesy of Hillbilly Housewife)
2 cups ice water
1 packet fruit-flavored drink mix (use your favorite flavor)
2/3 cup sugar
4 cups or 1 full tray of ice cubes

You need a blender to prepare this recipe. Put all of the ingredients into your blender. It will be about 2/3 to 3/4’s full. Put the lid on. Process the mixture on high for a full minute. Stop the blender, use a spoon to stir it a bit. Look for unchopped ice chunks. If all the chunks are grated up, then go ahead and serve it. You may need to process it for another full minute though. Serve immediately. I usually have to spoon this out of the blender with a measuring cup because the mixture is so thick. Makes 4 – 8oz servings

 Slime. Nuf said! It was a HIT!! Here is the recipe:How to do the experiment:


Homemade Slime Recipe
Borax
White Glue
Water
Food Coloring (optional)
Ziploc bag

1. Borax is available in the laundry section of your local grocery store. Take a cup of water and add to it 1 Tbs. of borax (approx 4% solution). Stir until completely dissolved.
2. Make a 50% water 50% white glue solution. Take 1/4 cup of each and mix thoroughly.
3. In a ziploc bag, add equal parts of the borax solution to equal parts of the glue solution. 1/2 cup of each will make a cup of slime.
4. Add a couple drops of food coloring.
5. Seal bag and knead the mixture.
6. Dig in and have fun. Remember to wash your hands after playing.
7. Keep your slime in the sealed bag in the refrigerator when not playing with it to keep it longer. Unfortunately it may eventually dry out or grow mold. Just throw it out and start again!
