Fun with Sherbert

What do you get when you combine Sherbert, Orange juice, and Sprite?


Two very happy kiddos that may just go back to their room and happily (and quietly I might ad) watch a movie so that mommy and daddy can watch Clint Eastwood in "Gran Torino". Which I highly recommend BTW.

This recipe was brought to you by "Your Big Backyard" magazine. Which I also recommend for the little ones. Wyatt has been getting it since I guess last summer, thanks to Pa. He really enjoys it and it always has fun little projects and recipes in it. Be sure to click on the link and visit their site it has some fun things to do and printable coloring pages.

We saw this recipe the other night and they had to try it out. The original recipe was: Rainbow Sherbert (we used orange sherbert), Ginger ale (Sprite here), and Orange Juice. I think they called it a tall giraffe.

Anyways it is a fun and super easy treat to make for the kiddos and who knows maybe you will get to sit down and watch yourself a movie.

This is also brought to you in part by GoodNCrazy, see she is on a mission to find fun things to keep her and her kiddos sane this summer and I have to jump in also. Be sure to check her out she has some good ones on there already.

Busy Summer Days

School has been out for a little while now and we have be busy keeping busy. I have been all over the place, all four kids in tow!

Last week Wyatt had a 3 day baseball camp hosted by a local high school. He had alot of fun and said he learned alot and wants to go again next year.

On Wednesday after camp we went to a friends house to swim oh yea I took all the kids:) Wyatt has really turned into a little fish this year and was all about the pool, Abby is doing great and loved floating in the ring.




This past weekend we stayed busy with visiting some old friends and their oh so cute puppies. My son is still trying to convince me he needs one of these. I think not so much, but who wins this battle is still in the air.


We then went with some friends to a baseball game and watched some great fireworks afterwards.


Wyatt had a blast on the velcro wall before the game, it was hilarious to watch Shane throw him up and he just stick there:)


Sunday I spent some time shopping with and without my kids. Daddy took pitty on them and me and came to pick them up after a phone call from me threatening to leave them on the side of the road if they didn't shape up quickly, luckily he got there just in time! Speaking of shopping Old Navy is having a big ol daddy sale as in everything for your man is 1/2 off and I mean everything. WTH is up with them not doing this for women on Mother's day???

This week Wyatt is at nature camp every day from 9-12 he is having a blast and loving it, I am just glad to get him out of the house some more. We are planning more trips to Target, the library and the splash park next week so stayed tuned to my crazy tells of hauling 4 kids around and hopefully not loosing anyone along the way.
