Ready, Aim, Shoot- Water Gun Fun

By Praises from a Wife and Mommy! -
We had plans to go down down to the free fountains but when we got down there they were not on and not turning on.  I still have to find out when they are on.  We had a great time there a few weeks ago on a sporadic moment.  :)  So I had to think quick since I had a little girl who was sad.  So we had a super fun water gun fight!  :)  Getting wet is our theme lately with the hot temps.  I was very happy a couple days prior I had purchased these 2 water guns at "Dollar Tree."  

Yep, she got a lot more wet them me.  LOL, I must have better aim!  ;)




I had fun trying to hide by a tree or even the big electrical boxes.  :)  We even did a "Western Draw" where we lined up back to back and took 3 big steps and then turned around and shot at each other.  Daddy was sweet and took pictures for us but I think I will have to buy another squirt gun for him because I am pretty sure there will be a next time.  :) 

I also filled a bucket with water so it was easy to fill them up.  :)

Looks so fun! Now I have to go get some waterguns too! hehe.
With any luck they'll be on sale since they're trying to fit in the school stuff!

So cute. With temps consistently over 100 where I am, my boys don't want to go outside at all (not at all like them!) I love your background pic of praying hands--awesome :)

Found you through the Thursday Cup of Joe Hop. I hope you'll follow me back :)

Orbeez beads and glow sticks= SENSORY FUN!

By Praises from a Wife and Mommy! -

My daughter got one of those Orbeez bead sets for Christmas.  I was so amazed at how those beads grew in the water.  It was so much fun!  :)  My daughter made her necklaces with the beads but we had a lot more m beads so we have been using them for some fun sensory play.   We put the beads in a dish and we got some glow sticks and put them in the container with the beads.  The beads looked really awesome.  :) My daughter loved it.  She played in the dark with the beads and glow sticks for a long time.  :)

Beating the Heat with Ice Cube Painting

By Praises from a Wife and Mommy! -

I LOVE LOVE LOVE being a mom!  I love that my daughter is at a age where she wants to do arts n crafts and is a little sponge learning and trying new things.  
With the heat of the week I wanted another activity that would help keep us cool.  Ice cube painting was a great idea for 90 degree days with lots of humidity.   
Not only was this fun but very easy to make.  All I did was put water in my ice cube tray and then added food coloring and then put in the freezer.  SUPER FUN AND EXTREMELY EASY!  
Selah's face she makes when she is concentrating.  
Her first drawing on paper.   
This is an old dish towel that I did not use anymore.  
You could set the ice cube in one spot and let it melt for a little bit and then move it.  It created a very neat tye-dye look.  :)  I LOVED IT!  Selah had so much fun moving the ice cubes around.  :) 
Her name kinda disappeared but this looks so cool!  I love love love it!  :) 
We want to do this again!  :)

Liquid Chalk spray! Chalk Idea #7

By Praises from a Wife and Mommy! -

Last week we tried out the fizzing sidewalk chalk- click here to read that review.

This week it is liquid chalk spray.  They are a bit similar but yet different.  Here is how to make it:


Supplies:1 tsp. washable tempura paint1 cup of hot water1/2 cup of cornstarchsquirt of dishwashing liquid1 squirt bottle- I found them at the dollar store1.  Add cornstarch to one cup of hot water whisking to mix so that there are no clumps. 2.  Add one teaspoon of washable tempura paint and a quirt of dishwashing liquid.  Mix well. 3.  Pour it into your squirt bottles and shake well. 4.  Go have fun!!!  
This kept my daughters attention much longer the the fizzy chalk last week.  I also think this was easier to work with and just more fun in general.  I love seeing the chalk wet but then to see it dry.  I think it dried darker so it was fun to see the changes.  :)  Ready, Set, Go!  Have some fun!

She is my little model... she kept saying "take my picture mom."
She is like her daddy, when he is work…
