August Birthdays – “Spray painting”

Well, it’s official. The dog days of summer are here. And I am feeling Lazy. Thankfully, we had another big family birthday blowout last weekend that should tide me over with post topics for the remainder of the week. One of the birthday boys just so happened to be a certain one I gave birth to almost three years ago already! So for his portion of the celebration, I gave the kids a little project to work on. Spray painting shirts with a Kool-Aid concoction (Kool-Aid + 1/4 c each of boiled water & vinegar). It was a decent hit, except for Little Left-out Hadley. She likes to suck on spray bottles, and was quite irate that she could not partake in this activity. Bastien made a shirt for her though. And it’s all forgotten now, a day later, that I’ve let her suck on an empty squirt bottle to her heart’s content.
