Messy Monday - Cloud Dough

We actually did Messy Monday on Monday this week!!  YIPPEE!!

 I found a recipe for cloud dough on Pinterest.  Basically you mix flour with baby oil and it makes a soft fluffy feeling dough.  D and S were less than impressed with it!  I thought the texture was neat and you could mold it into different shapes.  I tried to get them to create snowballs and animal tracks but neither was interested.  They kept running to the sand table and the pool.  Oh well ... I have something cool planned for next week.  It's extra messy!
First touch

S isn't too sure

Trying again 
D decided to add some water ... made a goopy, sticky mess

S found messy mud under the sand table

Nothing messy here - just silly!

Great Country Farm

Today to celebrate Spring Break we ventured to Great Country Farm.  We went last year at Spring Break also.  The kids had so much fun, when I asked what they wanted to do this year the first thing they said was "Great Country Farm!"  So we packed up the van with kids and grandparents and off we went. Just like last year, the kids had a blast playing on the slides and bouncy pillow.  Like last year I went down a few slides too.  Unlike last year I paid attention to the "12 and under" sign and stayed off of the bouncy pillow!  The kids also fed some goats, bounced on pigs, climbed on a bunch of wooden obstacles, and tried out the rope swing. And of course, no trip is complete without a little gem hunting! Last, but not least the kids rode the cow train.  S was till upset we didn't do this last year.  He definitely enjoyed the r...

Happy Easter

Image
I hope you and your family had a wonderful, happy Easter!  Ours sure did!!!!   We started the fun on Saturday evening by decorating Easter eggs.  We managed to spill 0 cups of egg dye and I only cracked 3 eggs while boiling them.  As you can see, egg dying is a serious and thought provoking experience in our house. The Easter Bunny left baskets on the table and hid eggs downstairs for the kids on Easter morning.  The baskets had an art book, a book to read, Mad Libs, Tsum Tsums, one small toy, and some chocolate.  We spent the afternoon with family having another egg hunt and dinner.  It was a great way to spend a warm, Easter Sunday!

Get in the Photo

I don't mind being in a photograph!  I know that's not true for most people, but it is for me.  The problem is, I'm usually the one taking the pictures.  Because of that I appear in very few of them.  I have a tripod and 2 different types of remotes.  But most days I don't take the time to get them out.  This year I'm trying to change that and get into the pictures more!
