Girls Stay Camp-- day 2

It's our second day of camp and we started our day with 'omelets in a bag'.
I got this fun idea from 2 friends who just got back from our church's girls camp.
When I heard about cooking eggs in a ziplock bag I knew I had to try this one out.
Step 1--add two eggs to a quart sized freezer ziplock type bag. I only had gallon sized ones so I added four eggs and it worked very well.
Step 2--mash, smash and mix the eggs--this is the fun part for the kids.
After the eggs are all mixed you can add the extras to make it an omelet--cheese, sausage, peppers, onions, bacon.
Make sure to get as much air out of the bag as you can when you close it up.
Step 3-- place the bag into a pot of boiling water.
Cook for 13 minutes
Step 4--take the bags out of the water. Open the bags and let the eggs fall out. They will look like this.

Step 5--Eat and enjoy... we made our eggs into breakfast burritos.

A quick visit to the doctor to make sure Brianne's ear infection was all cleared up turned into a two hour ordeal.
Although her infection is gone she still has fluid built up in her canals (this is common for kids with DS, their ear canals are at a different angle and won't drain fluid very well--if at all--on their own) and she has thrush from the antibiotic....no wonder she wasn't wanting to eat much solid food lately.
She also got her 6 month shots. Liam was a protective big brother and told the doctor "you not give my "Beann" shots". How sweet, just a few hours earlier he was decorating her body with an orange marker and I was wondering if he would ever get over sibling jealousy.


So change of plans....we went home and worked on another craft while watching a movie and let Brianne sleep.

We call them Mexican dream catchers--a cross between dream catchers and a Mexican inspired yarn craft.
We also got to make the pens for our journals.....I just had to get the supplies from Dollar Tree. We purchased them yesterday....I just forgot to get the bag as we left the store and I didn't realize it till much later last night. ( I thought one of the girls picked it up. Oops)

  1. That is so sweet how Liam wanted to protect his, "Beann" from getting shots. I also laughed at how he had just been decorating her with orange marker. Maybe he thought she was into body art ;).

    The crafts turned out so cute!!!!!

  2. I love the idea of a Stay Camp! How creative-- I'm definitely storing this idea away in the fun-things-to-do-with-kids file. Keep the updates coming-- what would I do with an incomplete Stay Camp file?!! :)
