Popsicles

POPSICLES!!

We made some Popsicles yesterday.  It was the perfect day to make them. In the mid 80's after running in the sprinkler they tasted so Yummy!

Here's what you need:

About 2 cups Soda or Juice

Popsicle sticks

silicone baking cups

A little tin foil

Here's how you do. Lay out your silicone baking cups.

My mom got me these a few years ago. Because she knows how much I Love patriotic stuff! I use them for all kinds of things Thanks mom.

Pour your soda or Juice into the baking cups

We chose Pineapple Soda it is super Yummy

Lay some Tin foil over top. I think this step may be optional I am going to try it without doing

this and see how it goes

Put your Popsicles in the soda through the foil. I used the tin foil hoping it would help keep the sticks straight but I don't think it helped that much. They were still crooked but the kids did not mind at all. Next Place them in the freezer for at least 2 hours.  Now go run in the sprinkler or ride your bike or anything just go outside and enjoy the sun.

Tada!! They are ready to eat

See how crooked the Popsicle stick is.... See how upset he is. NOT he loved them. As did Gracie.

Well I hope yall enjoy this treat all summer long it is easy and Fun for kids all ages. Moms and Dads too.

Egg matching and Egg Lunch

Egg matching.

I have seen a ton of fun Easter games. I have not left my kids out of the fun. This was the first one we played this year. We played many others but since I suck at blogging you probably wont hear about them. But maybe.... So this is Egg matching. I had some little candies they are character shaped they actually came in eggs the shapes are Dora, Diego and Spongebob. I actually bought these eggs at the end of last year and did not hid them very well so I had to come up with some stuff for the kids to play with them. Anyway I took the candies and separated them by character and color. Then I took 2 of each kind there just happened to be 12  I put one of each kind of candy under the bottom of the egg and one under each top. Then the kids had to find the matches.

Ryder found the first one and had the candy gone as soon as I started to

say yes you can eat the candy.

Then Gracie found the next match and the next one and the next one. I actually had to tell her even though she got a match again it was Ryders turn that was after 5 matches in a row.

In the back you can see my sorted candy piles.

The game set up again

These were Gracies matches. Yes 10 I think she won. 

Then I just put the candies in the Eggs and the Eggs in the

 Egg carton and put it away for another time to play

This is going to be a double post since both of these are kind of short.

Egg Lunch

While on Pinterest. I found this

pin and fell in love with it. I is over at Brandyscraftblog. Here is here page. I looked a little but it looks like here kids are lucky to have a super fun mom! She filled the eggs with their lunch hid the Eggs so they could find their lunch and eat it.

So I thought I would do the same Although I did not hid the eggs we just went to the park and had a picnic. But the kids still enjoyed it.

The day before I let the kids paint a empty Egg Carton

I filled the Eggs with favorite lunch treats. Pretzels, Brownies Carrots Broccoli( they LOVE broccoli) and PB&J  sandwiches. Note I did have to cut the sandwiches in 8 pieces to get them to fit.

Gracies Lunch

Ryders Lunch.

I hope you enjoy reading my post. Happy Easter.

Marshmallow Easter Egg Craft

Easter Marshmallow Craft

So the kids and I did a fun little Easter craft.

I saw this from no time for flash cards. Here is their page.

and thought we have to do this

Then I saw this and thought that sure is cute!

Here is her page

So here is what I did I printed this picture and used some white out and made the Egg plain. Then copied it.  So I had 2 one for each child.

Then the kids colored the page I told the kids not to color the egg. Gracie colored it some and Ryder got very upset with her but just like I promised him it is not a big deal.

While they were coloring I put the colored marshmallows in a small bowl one for each of them. Then we started gluing the Marshmallows at first we started by gluing one at a time but…. Gracie was really struggling and the glue was about half empty so Ryder was getting impatient with it so I just put a line of Glue wherever they wanted. Which was all over the egg.

And they completely filled them in.

I made one to kind of show them more what I was thinking

and lets be honest it was kind of fun.

Then Ryder had the idea of doing his name and of course he wanted it to be all green

so it’s a little hard to tell but it does say Ryder. 

Gracie had to do hers all pink. You know the princess.

Then we hung them up on the Fire place. I somehow lost that pic. But they look great.

was such a Fun little craft. I hope everyone tries it. Even if its not a egg.

Happy Easter!
