One of my favorite things about summer is all the creative play my kids do at home. This was a common scene this summer. Emily likes to make lunch and she never just makes lunch, she turns it into a restaurant, complete with menu and personal ordering. It's great I don't have to make lunch, but then it's extra work cleaning it up!
Emily and Angela did a few lemonade stands this summer. Between us and the neighbor kids there was a week where there was a stand at the end of our street almost every day. Once one kid did it, everyone wanted to! Angela did one with her friend across the street.
They spent lots of time on the poster. I tried to let the kids do as much as possible on their own, including carrying everything down there and back.
Emily loves to bake! A babysitter let her borrow a little cupcake decorating cookbook and she was dying to do a bunch of them and wanted to have a cupcake sale to sell them. She started working on them at 9am and worked straight until 2pm when her sale started. She emailed and called some friends so there would be some customers since it wasn't a hot day. I am amazed at friends' and strangers' generosity.
Kites, basketballs, and m&m cupcakes
Strawberry and baseball
These ice cream cone ones were fun
