Midnight Science Projects & Chocolate Chip Cookies

Since Doodlebug is on a summer break from homeschooling, we have not been a stickler about what time she turns in when she is here. I am pretty sure her folks are letting her stay up later too. I mean, isn't that the great thing about summer when you are a kid?  So, we let her stay up past her bedtime when she spent a couple of night with us last week and she played games and did science experiments with Papaw. They had the best time together.

They made every kid’s favorite thing, green slimy goo that glows in the dark. Is there anything better than green slimy goo that glows in the dark? We’re pretty sure that’s at the top of the “Best Things In The Whole Wide World List,” for a seven year old. She had a blast, as you can see.

"Does it get any better than this?"

 Several days ago, while enjoying playing outside with a friend, she and her little friend got into some poison ivy. Doodle’s little friend broke out very quickly and had to go to the doctor. Doodles didn’t show any signs for several days and then, she was hit with it and hit hard. Her little legs are so broken out. She has been soaking her legs in oatmeal baths and using lots of Calamine lotion and she too had to go to the doctor. So, one of her nights here, she was itching, we had given her Benadryl and were waiting for it to start helping. To take her mind off of her itching, we made chocolate chip cookies from scratch. She really enjoyed that. She said, “Mamaw, you and I have not been in the kitchen baking in such a long time.” I told her I know and I have missed our baking together.  I bought quiet a lot of peaches today from a roadside produce stand and I see some peach turnovers in our near future.

It has been a good weekend. Doodles spent the weekend visiting her other grandparents so, it gave us some time to get a few errands in. 

I hope you all had a wonderful weekend and have a great week.

Many blessings to you all!
