Shaving Cream Fight

My kids teachers on the last day of school sprayed them with shaving cream as part of their field day.

So, we took that idea and made it crazier!

We invited a few of our cousins over, armed everyone with their own bottle of shaving cream, and had a shaving cream fight. We bought ours at the local dollar store.  

This was so much fun, it's definitely happening again.  Even the adults had a blast.  I only wish we would have started it a little earlier.  It was about 8:00pm when we had our fight.  After the fight we sprayed each other off with a hose.  This was a little chilly with the sun going down.

 

The kids did say it burned their eyes pretty bad at school.  So, we put goggles on the kids.

My cute niece just dyed her hair an hour earlier, so she opted to wear a shower cap too.

Take all safety precautions, not recommended for kids under 10.

Mom ready for the battle!

We made three rules:

Don't aim for the face

(The men of course broke this rule. Shaving cream doesn't taste good or come out of ears easy)

No tackling

No shoving it down pants

You know your participants, so add any rules that may apply to certain individuals.

Let the games begin.

This is what the yard looked like, until the sprinklers came on in the morning.

It didn't seem to hurt the lawn, from what we can tell.

This is definitely going on the summer bucket list for next year!

We'd love to see your crazy photos and hear your stories, leave us a comment.

Summer flip flops

Every summer we get a new pair of flip flops and decorate them.

You can pick up a cheap pair for a dollar almost anywhere.

These ones were super fun and easy to make. 

They are by far my favorite  flip flops that I have decorated.

I bought a set of matching ribbon.

I loved it, because it came with ten different matching ribbons.

I only caution the silky ribbon might come untied.

I cut the ribbon about 3" and started at the toe and tied the ribbon on one side.

I then tied the ribbon in the same order on the other side.

For and easier project for younger kids:

Just wrap one ribbon continuously around the flip flop either hot glue or tie the ends

My frilly camouflage flip flops are very soft and comfortable.

Check out the yarn section of your local craft store for ideas.

For these flip flops I cut the fringe (We used Bernat Boa Yarn (amazon link)) about 3" and tied it around the flip flop. Pushing them together as I went.

These ones are made by wrapping the fringe around the flip flop and tying it off.

This method it a lot easier and still super cute!

The girls Grandmother made these.

We made these super fun water balloon flips flops at a mother and daughter party at our local church.

They turned out super cute.

One package of Water Balloons (amazon link) 100 per pair will do.

Add or minus water balloons depending on how far down the sides you want them to go.

Fake fur yarn, regular yarn, cut fabric, cut denim, leather strips, tulle or feathered boa might also make cute flip flops.
