Trying to keep these boys entertained!

It has been SO hot and we don't have much going on lately,
so keeping these boys entertained has been a little hard.
We can't be outside too much and they get tired of being around each other.

So we tried out a few experiments the other day.
This one we used a notecard to cut out a boat shape.
Then placed it in clean water and added dish soap to the cut out part in the boat.

It causes the boat to race across the water. The boys thought it was very cool.

Next we put a gummy bear in water and left it overnight.
We each made a prediction about what would happen to the gummy bear.

All our experiment came from this book that I found in the $1 section of Target.

Our gummy bear grew overnight!! The boys were quite impressed!

The next day we made Blue Goo.
Sam got his 'gear' from a friends bday party...isn't it great?

Every boy loves goo!

PopPop helped us blow up a balloon without blowing air into the balloon.

Vinegar in the bottle and baking soda in the balloon...

It worked!!

I thought it would be fun to practice writing our letters in some whip cream outside.
Mommy wasn't really thinking because it melted very quickly!

Good thing it was yummy to eat!

Homemade sidewalk paint

It was suppose to rain one day and the weather was great!

We spent the morning painting the driveway!

Making sidewalk paint is super easy.
1 cup cornstarch, 1 cup water, and food coloring

Only a few more weeks of summer left and I am running out of ideas.
Hope I can think of some more things to keep these boys busy!
Good thing I have wonderful parents and great friends that have helped with playdates and sleepovers! It has been a wonderful summer!
