Parksdale Village II

Hello everyone!

Yesterday we had a minion party.  YEA!!! We made our own minions out of Twinkies.  It totally makes sense if you think about it!  We also made a banana split as well.  Seeing the children have so much fun just makes my day...to see their smile's is priceless!  Everyone made two minions out of one twinkie and decorated them themselves. Once they were done decorating the minions (Twinkies) they placed them on top of a cup cake, WOW!!!  As you can see from the pictures below they came out great!  Hope you all get to try this at home, its so much fun to make and super easy.  Enjoy!

Rolling Hills

Hello everyone!!!

Hope you all had a great 4th of July with family and friends.  Here at the Rolling Hills apartments we had an amazing time with our neighbors and friends celebrating the 4th with a pinic and a talent show.  We all have different talents and we had the opportunity to share it among our friends. We also had the opportunity to have a bbq.  Everyone was excited to see their hamburgers cooking on the grill.  Our summer has been great!  We also had ice cream, cookies and a root beer float party that turned out nice...along with all the food we had a water ballon toss...the children enjoyed the game and wanted to play again and again and again.  Well from all of us  at the Rolling Hills Apartments we wish you all a good summer, be safe and make sure you wear sunblock when going outdoors.

Hello All!

This past month was a fun one!  We had Father's day to celebrate and prepare for and we also had quite a few birthdays in the month of June!  Including my own!  YEA!!!  So first we started to prepare for father's day...we made cards and since the boys and girls in my little lab are so into soccer I figured they caught soccer fever from their homes!  I was right!  The dads from our complex are real soccer fans so we decided to go for a soccer themed card!  It was so cute and appropriate, I heard they were a big success!

Also to go with the card we made a dream catcher to go on the rearview mirror in the dads cars!  It was an easy enough project using pipecleaners, yarn, beads and feathers!  It was easy to make so the kids made two, one for dad and one for themselves!  I actually have seen a few of the parents cars with the dream catchers in their cars!  How cool is that!  It's awesome to see the gifts actually being enjoyed!  Aside from that we are on our regular routine of doing summer activities and trying to stay out of this heat as much as possible!

Trying to remind all the children to stay hydrated and in the shade and just stay cool!  As I mentioned before we had a few birthdays this June including my own :-) so I decided to buy a cake towards the end of the month and do one big celebration for all the birthdays!  We surely did enjoy ourselves!  I hope the rest of the summer is as fun as this past month has been!  I hope everyone is enjoying themselves this awesome time of year! Enjoy summertime!
