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.

New Walking Shoes

I have loved the Dansko shoes that I wear when it is cool. But I needed some comfortable walking shoes and amazingly Dansko now makes  "tennis shoes". They are so comfortable, although a little wild.  Probably should have gone with a more neutral pair, but these are fun. And to all the fashion police out there, no, one pant leg is not longer than the other.  It is just the angle of the camera. Sheesh!!!!!

Laundry Dilemma

OK, all of my friends in Blogland, I have a problem and those closest to me are getting tired of me showing them my laundry dilemma and of me trying to get them to help me figure it out so I am sharing my problem with you in hopes that some BRILLIANT person can help me. Several, and I mean several of my shirts are getting holes in them. I hope you can see from the pictures below--I have put a red cloth behind the holes in hopes that they would show up better. They start out with tiny little pinprick holes and then they "grow". They are always right about waist level. I have been working on this puzzle for a several weeks because I don't want to have to replace all my clothing every few weeks (although there is a Stein Mart in Colorado Springs.) See the solutions that have been ruled out. not one of my bracelets puncturing the cloth no, I'm not wearing a belt that is puncturing the cloth it does not seem to be something that I am leaning up against the seatbelt ...

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...
