Happy Retirement Dad!

By Praises from a Wife and Mommy! -

I am so proud of my father!  At the beginning of the month he retired!!  He worked very hard for many years in a factory painting every day.  He deserves a great retirement!  

I would have to say that his first week of retirement went really well!  First, he got a hole in one on the golf course, then he run's his first 5K!  I mean that is one awesome week for a 62 year old, and he had 2 of his grand babies visiting for the weekend!  

Pretty sure he slept good on Monday once his house was all quiet again.  :) 

It is hard for me to grasp that he retired, he seems to young to me to retire!!!  :) I am thankful that he was able to retire and it is good to know that all his finances are in order.  It is always a blessing for kids to not have to worry about their parents and their parents finances.  :)  

YAY DAD!  :)  Love you,  now only if I could convince him to buy a computer and get internet so you could read my blog!  :)

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

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!  :)
