First Nana Cousin Camp Summer 2016--Favorite Animals Theme

-
We had our first Nana Cousin Camp of the summer 
last week.  We did a FAVORITE ANIMALS theme.
Foods included:
Kiwi/Grape turtles, Fruit Loop Butterflies
Favorite Animal Fruit Cup

Grape Caterpillars

Animal Mix


We had books from the library
for each of the favorite animals.
Please excuse the upside down picture.
Caleb's Favorite Animal--Koala
Aaron's Favorite Animal--Penguin
David's Favorite Animal--Great White Shark
Cora's Favorite Animal--Elephants

We played the Matching Animal Game
which was a huge hit.

We thoroughly enjoyed the ocean punch where the
white sharks were swimming.

Cora
We sat in the zoo (hallway)
and each child gave a report
about their favorite animal.
Caleb went first because he has
lots of experience with recitation from school.

The funniest part of the evening
(so funny that I had tears
rolling down my face
from laughing)
was Cora teaching about elephants.
She had obviously observed
the method of teaching from her brother
and cousins and when she
took the floor, she didn't want
to relinquish it.  That girl
likes to talk.

They each made a book about their
favorite animal.

These kiddos love to draw.

David hard at work.

In case you wonder where the artistic
Cora is in these pictures, well, she
decided that she needed her nails
done in the middle of the party.
Yes, she's our girly-girl!

Such fun times with these
precious grandchildren.

Love Present from a Friend

One of my favorite things in the whole wide world is to receive a Love Present . The definition of a Love Present is a gift that someone gives you for no special occasion, but just because. My sweet friend, Claudia, came by the other day with the cutest dishes. She had found them at an antiques store and she said they just looked like me. Don't they make a beautiful display in my kitchen bookshelves? Thank you, Claudia, for the dishes, but most of all for the thought behind the Love Present .

Skippyjon Jones and Kohl's

I'm not sure if I should thank my friend Mindy for letting me know that Kohl's is featuring Skippyjon Jones items in their stores, or whether I should send her the bill for the items I purchased. I actually restrained myself (although all items purchased are not displayed in the picture.) There are many more Skippy Jon Jones items at your local Kohl's. Let me just give Kohl's  and their Kohl's Cares program a shout out. I am so impressed with their commitment to local charities benefitting children. All the items above were $5.00 each with the total proceeds going to charity. "Kohl's Cares thanks you for over a decade of dedication and hundreds of millions of dollars raised.  100% of the net profit from the sale of this item will be donated to support kids' health and education initiatives in communities nationwide. Since 2000, more than $180 million has been raised through our Kohl's Cares cause merchandize program." For more information, vi...

Bluebonnets

Texas Bluebonnets and Spring are synonymous! What a beautiful display of God's beauty! My friend, Lea, gave me a beautiful silver bluebonnet charm created by James Avery . You can see it by clicking the link above. I love wearing it because it reminds me of my roots. I still remember the Bluebonnet Song that I learned in elementary school. Bluebonnets, Bluebonnets, With your coats so blue Your bright eyes are shining In the morning dew. They say you're a dolly Offered for the rain And Texas wears blue Bluebonnets in the Spring. Anyone else sing that song as a child?
