J had an all-day work event that he needed our car for, so I had the kids at home to myself. It was the most lovely day. Here's what we did:
We played in the backyard pool. (Unfortunately, in a fit of absent-minded photo deleting, I accidentally deleted the two pictures I took of RUS in the little pink baby pool. Oops :( )

We colored on and played inside the awesome cardboard house that JW and C sent R for her 3rd birthday--I hope it makes it through at least one more summer!


RUS napped, and R and I played three board games--Hello Kitty Bingo, Dora Memory, and a Zoo Animals Match-Up game.
Then R and I made S'mores Cups while RUS ate graham crackers.


The S'mores Cups were actually a trial run-- R's daycare class is doing a 2-week unit on "camping" and I saw this recipe online and thought they'd be perfect to bring in as a little treat for the kids. R loves them! I do, too. YUM!!
Here's a closer look at them. Basically it's a graham cracker base with a Hershey bar rectangle on top, then 1/2 a marshmallow and then once they are cooled, you dip them in more Hershey's chocolate. Did I already say YUM?
Here's the recipe.

It was so lovely!
Oh yay, they still make those cardboard houses! I keep seeing old advertisements from them when I read Xander my old books. I'm glad to hear they still exist and we can order one.
ReplyDeleteThose s'mores cups look great! I may have to try them some time.
