Imagine It

Some of our favorites from our day at Imagine It.

Fashion Diva Turns 7

We decorated our own fashion mirrors, then went inside and made some snazzy flip flops!

Then - our make up

and hair

now - we walk the runway!

The Mouse

A favorite summer play place of the children is The Mouse - not the really cool one in Orlando, just the one that makes bad, expensive pizza at the Chuck E Cheese.

A few times over the summer, we have met friends there to play.

I like that they have coke on tap - where I refill my drink by myself. And they have air conditioning.

The kids like it all - the playground, the games, the tokens, the big cheese, the videos......everything!

Six Flags

We always seem to visit Six Flags on the hottest day of the year!

I can assure you that Skull Island was my favorite part - let the heat subside and the water glide....everywhere!

As we exited the park (with farewell music playing loudly over the speakers), we ran into Wonder Woman.

Xander stopped.

And stared.

And stared.

Then, we got behind college boys (really - a whole line of young men waiting to have their picture taken with Wonder Woman). Xander smiled BIG - and insisted I take several - "just in case."

She was hot - and not the its a 98 degrees out hot. I'm sure she hasn't given birth to two children......or at least that's what I'm telling myself.

Summer of Livin on a Prayer

This summer will forever be remembered as the summer of Livin on a Prayer.

We gave Tommy Guitar Hero World Tour for father's day and the house favorite is Bon Jovi's Livin on a Prayer.

Chores

Chores.

I have one child who LOVES chores. Xander. He has always been eager to help - would rather be under my feet helping me than off alone.

And one child who avoids them like the plague. Mikaela.

I have tried lots of systems - chore charts, chore picture guides, chore cards.

This fall - I'm going to try this: (thank you D for the link!)
