S'more's with my Lil Sweetie

By Praises from a Wife and Mommy! -
Usually on Wednesday's you find us at the church for youth group.  I love helping my husband but over the last several months I have not been able to help as much as I want with chasing two kiddos.  I really need to find someone to babysit my bundles for me but budget wise we just can't pay someone.  Tonight at youth they were having a bon fire and my daughter loves hanging with the students but her little brother needed to go to bed since he was very fussy.  So she started to have tears roll down her face when I said we would miss the fire.  

 Well, as soon as I got the little brother in bed we had a deck date with candles and s'more making.  :) 

 My little girl is growing up so fast.  As I starred at her through the candle light I got misty eyed because she is so big.  She was talking non stop about so many different things.  I LOVED EVERY SECOND OF IT! 

 Mother's make sure you make the time and prioritize some one-on-one times with each of your children.  They truly will enjoy it and so will you! 

 We made s'mores, sang to Jesus, and she asked many questions about my mom who is in heaven.  Every once in awhile she asks a lot of questions about her Nana Bette and every time I take the unexpected conversation and share secrets and stories about my mom.  I know my mom would be so proud of her grand-kids and me too! :) 

 Dear Darling Daughter,
I am so proud of you!  So proud of who you are becoming and so proud of each and everything you accomplish.  I love your big smile and your goofy smiles too.  I really appreciate your help when I need it and even though you sometimes grumble and have an attitude you still really do love to be a helper.  Pretty soon you will be going to 4K and I know you will be the LIGHT in that school!  I pray for more boldness in you and a contagious faith for many to see. THANK YOU for being YOU!  I am such a blessed 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

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!  :)
