End of Summer Fun

Summer is quickly coming to an end so today we had a mishmash day of fun! This morning we ran to Walmart to pick up some school supplies and the kids wanted to stop off at Joann's to pick up an art project.
 
Bailey got a tea set kit.
Gregory got a foam flyer kit.
They painted...

...and painted...
...until Bailey had her tea set complete
and Gregory had four planes decorated.

Gregory went to visit the farm last school year and
brought home a pitiful tomato and basil plant. 
We never expected it to live.  But, it's HUGE and
has lots of tomatoes.  The basil is in the center
(we didn't even bother to separate them!)

We planted a bunch of pumpkins a few weeks ago ~
only two have sprouted so far. 
Hopefully, we will get at least two pumpkins!


While Bailey was busy reading, Gregory
and I made some chocolate mint ice cream!
A few marshmallows and soy creamer.

Microwave a bit.


Oh shoot! 
I just realized we didn't add the oil!


Freezing up nicely in our ice cream maker.


"Sweets" tasting our creation.



We only used 1/2 the recommended amount
of peppermint oil and boy is it minty!
