SuperMom July

Window Markers on Sliding Glass Doors (what makes this so fun is having the kids on opposite sides)



Doing It With Them (everything is better when mom plays along!)
I spy with my little eye, someone that is hiding ... (aka me)

Sock Puppets (old socks+fabric scraps+crazy buttons+colorful thread = sock superhero & sock doll)

Fishing (We made fishing poles with dowels, yarn, and magnets, then attached paper clips to the fish we made. When the kids caught a fish they had to tell me the number on it. Aren't I educational? :)

Painting Sugar Cookies (The semi-runny sugar cookie frosting is perfect for kids to spread with cheap paint brushes!)

Sexy momma! It's illegal, you know, to have such a great looking physique after having 3 kids!!!

Cute ideas...I'll have to steal a couple of them. So they make markers specifically for glass? Pretty cool.

janae said...

Krishele - Yeah, whatever. You're funny. ;) The markers are made by Crayola and are called Window Markers. They are PERFECT for long car rides because they are washable and the kids can spend hours coloring their respective windows. Love em.

I love those sock puppets, they are the funnest. Especially when Enoch decides he likes to eat their faces, and then Elijah gets jealous and steals the puppet back :) Oh goodness, I love your kids.
