Chronicles of Summertime: Day 6

I will start with some things we did over the weekend. We went to the library's Summer Reading Program Kick-off. Snugglepuppy had lots of fun and met Maisy and made Maisy ears to wear. He made a sand castle and saw a magic show. He also got his face painted and a tattoo!




We also went to COSI, our local children's science museum. Snugglepuppy played in the water area and saw the Mythbuster's exhibit for daddy's birthday.



I actually did a post about this water area at COSI earlier and here is a list of things kids can learn here:

We stopped by the Art Festival that was going on downtown near COSI and had a look around and a bite of food. It was a fun weekend!

Day 6:
Today was another RAINY lazy day. We didn't do too much in the morning. Snugglepuppy played with his castle he made at the library using playdough and cars. He built a road for his cars with it. Then, after cleaning that up, we started reading some library books for the summer reading program. He liked the 3 Little Pigs and helped the wolf (he calls it a dog) blow down the houses. Then we read Pete the Cat and His Four Groovy Buttons. As an extension, we watched the Youtube video of Pete the Cat: I Love My White Shoes.



And lastly, we made the fruit and yogurt parfait from Snugglepuppy's Highlights High Five Magazine.

Smashing the raspberries (we changed the recipe a little).

The final product.

Digging in!

Easy Banana Popsicles with No Added Sugar!

Here is a little Summer concoction I came up with upon discovering that my son is BANANA CRAZY! It's very simple. All you need is:

1 1/2-2 Bananas
1/2 cup of orange juice


Blend together (with blender or food processor), pour into these handy dandy popsicle molds, and freeze.


They are really very yummy! You can of course use any type of popsicle mold, just vary the amount of the ingredients you need to use. I actually only used 1 banana and it wasn't enough to fill this whole container. 

You can also add other fruits to make various flavors. I would recommend strawberry, pineapple, or mango.
