Mailman play set

Lucas's teacher has a wish list and some of the items on the list are occupation type dress up play sets for the kids to use during center time for pretend play.

I decided to make a mailman play set since I had lots of time on my hands this weekend.

It was fun to be creative with this set and it was actually pretty inexpensive since I used primarily felt.

You can open the little envelopes and in each one is a shape or pretend note.

Lucas has already had lots of fun playing with the set this weekend.

House pics~

Ok....for those of you that aren't family, you may want to skip right over this post as you probably won't be interested.

If you are family you may not be interested either! ha! :)

These are picture of the interior of the new rent house.

View as you enter the front door ~ Josh's office area:

If you are standing in the entry way and look to the right...you see the formal living room (and Josh):

Looking to the right from Josh's office area is the kitchen/dining:

Italian Cream Sodas~

Fill glass half full with ice

Add 1/4 cup of simple syrup flavoring (I like Torani and the fruit flavors work best)

Add 1/4 cup of half and half

Add 1/2 cup of soda water

Stir

Top with whipped cream ( Redi-Whip in the can is easy)

Enjoy!

(The soda pictured above was made using Torani's orange flavored simple syrup. Tastes like a Dreamsicle!)

Back to School

Lucas- Kindergarten / Zachary- 3rd grade

Well the day passed with only a few tears (mostly mine).

Shockingly, Lucas brought home the Gold Star for having the cleanest desk. I should have photographed it as that will likely be the last time he receives the award.

And in case you were wondering, apparently there are no cute girls in either class.

(Mom!!! uggh!!!)
