For the Kids Friday #8

So.... I'm trying to pack for our first trip to China.  We are leaving in the middle of the night to drive for 12 hours to Gramma and Papa's house so the kids can spend time with them while we are exploring our soon-to-be home.  Instead of getting ready for this trip, we've spent this last week getting our house ready to put up for sale.  Needless to say, this week has been insanely busy!

Because of that, I haven't been the best host.  I didn't have a chance to check out each link from last week, and I feel bad about that.  I did go through and select my top picks for the week.  Thanks again for all of you who come to link up each week!  I just LOVE seeing what you all are doing, and it is a great place for inspiration!  You are all amazing!!!

Here are my picks for this week... Wow!  What awesome ideas!

For the Kids Friday #8

Ok... I was going to start off our party this week with the Sun Scholar Summer Program winners, but that was proving to be WAY longer of a post then I thought it should be.  If you missed the post, you can find it HERE.

With that aside... thank you all for another awesome week of awesome ideas for the kids in your life.  I absolutely LOVE seeing what you are up to.  Here are some of my favorites from last week.  But, I do have to say, I think you all ROCK!  :)  I'm just tickled to have you here.

For the Kids Friday #7

Before we get started, I wanted to make sure you all knew about the Sun Scholars Summer Learning Program offer I am sharing.  I will be giving FOUR lucky individuals my complete summer program for free!  In return, they will be sharing with us each week, for 6 weeks, some highlights of the program.

Think you might be interested?  Will you have children between 3 and 10 to entertain over the summer months?  Stop by my post HERE to register for your chance to win!

And now for the fun...

I was blown away by the response last week.  We had 170 links shared, and boy did I have a tough time narrowing it down to a handful of favorites!  A couple of things I want to share....

1)  Did you notice the new tab above?  I will be adding all of the A++ Featured links from each week's For the Kids Friday Link Party there.  Stop by and check out this awesome (growing) collection!

2)  I have begun to select a link each day to share on my Sun Scholars Facebook page.  If you haven't already stopped by and joined my Facebook page, you can find the button on the side margin.  :)  Just another way I can share some of the great ideas you are all sharing with us here!

Thanks to all who participated last week!!  These were some of my favorites, which I am sure you will love too!

For the Kids Friday #5

Welcome back to another fun week of kid-friendly fun!  We had over 130 links last week, which I was SOOO thrilled to see.  I am loving all of the ideas you are sharing, and I'm thinking I may begin adding those that I feature to a dedicated page.  I may just start working on that one.  Thank you all who participated last week!  Let's see if we can make it to 150 this week!

These are the posts I'm awarding an A++ from last week's party.   There were so many to choose from, gosh!  These were some of my favorites.  Take a moment to check these out, as I am sure you will love them too.
