The last theme covered in PB's "In Search Of..." birthday party was the Loch Ness Monster. For decor of this area I made a pool noodle nessie with blue mylar water rings around the humps. For the activity the kids built their own little nessie and raced it! To make the little Nessies there were small pieces of pool noodle foam to use as the body base and green pipe cleaners with (goggly eyes already attached) for the humps. Below are the mini Loch Ness racing lakes: The lakes are long planter boxes covered in black yard debris bags with rocks on the bottom and filled with water. To get their Nessies to glide across the water air propulsion by means of a straw was used. "...and down the Loch they come! In the final stretch it's Nessie by a neck!" Next up... Food and additional decor!

Summer is about to be here and we are searching for the ultimate pool floats to give us the coolest summer ever!
Usually during the Summer we have to beg our kids to read. Refreshingly, the griping has been almost non-existent this year. We started reading the Percy Jackson series together, and the kids have loved it. The books are really well written, and are extremely fast paced so it keeps our young readers attention. Some of our little ones aren't advanced enough to read the books yet so we downloaded the Audible versions for them to listen to while everyone else read it. Honestly, it might be one of the best Audible books I've ever heard. I'm so impressed with the narrator's ability to speak in so many voices. I've enjoyed listening to it just as much as the kids! If you are interested in reading or listening to the books we noticed that The Lightning Thief (the first book in the series), the Audible versions of the books, and the boxed set are all on sale on Amazon right now! HOST A PERCY JACKSON PARTY We are about halfway through the series, and decided to have a little fun with it. Never ones to shy away from a chance to throw a good themed party, we came up with the idea to have Percy Jackson pool party. We used the books as inspiration, and invited anyone who has been reading the books along with us. There were Pegasus floats, themed food, and - because the boys are involved - tridents on the ready for battle. Make the hop over to Savvy Sassy Moms to see more details and photos from the Percy Jackson Party and check out all the ideas on how you can host your own. We also share a free printable for discussion cards to keep the conversation going. What books are your kids reading for Summer? We are always looking for more good ones to keep our readers motivated? We'd love to hear! Come spend the day with us on: | Instagram | Pinterest | Facebook | Twitter |
