Summer Survival

School is out and summer has officially started.

It's hot here.

I mean, really, really, really, brutally HOT!

So, besides swimming and jumping on the trampoline with the hose, there's not much to do outside.

I had a coupon to Michael's Craft store.
So, we headed there to pick up a few things to keep busy inside.

Here's what I got for around $40.
The summer workbooks were the most expensive, but worth it.

I put all the goodies into a cardboard box so when the kids are

 "bored" they can go and grab something to try.

Some of the items, we picked up for only a buck!

Like these sand art things.

They really liked these.

We may have to go back and snag some more.
