If you cant take your kid to the beach

We had plans to go down to Stewart Beach in Galveston on Saturday while my mom and sister were here and spend the day playing on the beach. Well....life with a kiddo means that plans can change in the blink of an eye....James started running a fever on Friday around lunchtime while Mom, James and I were out shopping and having lunch...got him home, sure enough...103.7!!!! So, we had to switch gears when he still wasnt feeling 100% on Saturday. So if you cant take your kid to the beach...especially one that was still DYING to go even though he wasnt quite up to it.........next best thing is to bring the beach to your kid!!! :0)

So we decided to set up our own "beach" in our front yard.......as you can see it in the pics below it was a GORGEOUS day...and our little beach turned out pretty danged cool...will be doing this more this summer on weekends we arent either at Stewart or at Moody/Palm Beach for sure!!!

Water Day at PPCD

Yesterday was the last party for James at his PPCD class. Today is their official last day of school..he only goes from 10:15 to noon today and that's it!! Where has the time gone, I cannot believe he has been in PPCD for the entire school year and as of today will oficially be considered a kindergartener!!! WOW!!!
My mom and I went to the water day festivities with him yesterday and everyone had a BLAST!!! Ms Ha painted the bottoms of each kid's feet and had them walk across a canvas so she would have a keepsake from them...then they played in the two pools, with the hoses, slippy slide, and a shaving cream station that they all just loved! Then it was time for popsicles outside, and we then headed inside for pizza before going home.


















































































































James and Grandma

My sister and I decided that since my mom's birthday was a few days ago (Monday) that we would split the cost of a one way ticket, and fly her down here to Houston, as she was coming down anyway to spend the week with us. Berta is driving down this Friday after work and will drive back with Mom on Sunday. Happy Birthday Mom!!!
I got these cute pictures of James with Mom after he finished eating his popsicle the other day....so sweet!!!

Koolaid Popsicles

While at the store the other day...I came across the little plastic popsicle mold thingy like we used to have when I was a kid..and it instantly took me back to my childhood and Mom would make us popsicles out of Koolaid....Yum Yum YUM!!!!!

I told James about it and he was EXCITED to go home and make some. Here he is, trying them for the first time..he told me Mommy, these are REALLY good...and wanted to make more right away......think this will be a constant this summer, we will always have some koolaid popsicles in the freezer now!
