Happy Monday!\u00a0 Here’s a few ways to make some fun with your kiddos this week…<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

1. <\/strong>Do you live in an area where the trees don’t change colors?\u00a0 Gather some fabric or ribbons in autumn colors and tear them into short strips, then decorate a tree in your yard.\u00a0 Tie on the red, yellow and orange fabric and make your own whimsical fall colors.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

2.\u00a0 Make miniature caramel apples.\u00a0 Cut apples into chunks and skewer them on toothpicks.\u00a0 Put out bowls of dips (like caramel, nut butters and honey cream cheese) and toppings (like chopped nuts, coconut and mini chocolate chips) and let the kids mix and match flavors.<\/span>
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

3.\u00a0 Make over a kiddie car.\u00a0 Isn’t this fabulous?\u00a0 Pink and Green Mama<\/a> shows you how.<\/span>
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

4.\u00a0 Have the kids put on a performance on video and email it to a loved one.<\/span>
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

5.\u00a0 Jump off a cliff.\u00a0 Okay, a really small one.\u00a0 It sounds silly, but you wouldn’t believe how much fun our kids had with some friends jumping off this big rock last week.\u00a0 They tried to jump in sync for pictures and wanted to do it again and again!<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

6.<\/strong> Make some Hot Pumpkin Almond Milk<\/a> for the kiddos and Pumpkin Lattes for you!<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

7. <\/strong>Use markers to draw little faces on your child’s toenails.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

8.\u00a0 Rake some giant piles of leaves and jump in them together.\u00a0 Yes, you too!<\/span>
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

9.<\/strong> Make some Autumn Leaf Bowls<\/a>.\u00a0 Red Ted Art shows you how.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

10.\u00a0 Whip up some scratch ‘n sniff Halloween paint.\u00a0 Just mix one packle of grape kool-ade and one packet of orange with a few spoonfuls of water each.\u00a0 The grape will look black when it’s concentrated and the orange will be nice and bright.\u00a0 Each color will smell fruity when you scratch them later too! <\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

And with that, my pretties, I’m finally off to bed. <\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Kiss your sweeties, count your blessings and don’t forget to take care of you!
