Nothing Says Summer Like......

Today is National Watermelon Day

Remember sitting around and spitting out the watermelon seeds to see who could spit the farthest? And trying not to swallow any seeds cuz the older kids told you that if you swallowed the seeds a watermelon would grow in your belly? And using your dirty, bug sprayed forearm to wipe off the juice that was dripping down your chin. And then wiping that on your clothes? Ah, those were the days! I don't think I ever won that spitting distance contest but it was fun to participate!

AND National Chocolate Chip Day!

Hmmm, how to choose - watermelon or chocolate chip? But then, why choose?

I mean, you could just make cookies that look like watermelon, with chocolate chips on them

You could make them heart shaped
or on a stick

Or maybe a watermelon milkshake - you could use mini chocolate chips instead of jimmies. Just make sure you have enough for everyone because you know this will bring all the boys to your yard......

Jim doesn't really like watermelon, and I don't really like to cook, so we'll probably skip celebrating this one, but however you choose to celebrate this summer day - enjoy!
