Mommy Made Playdough

I put Devon to sleep at his normal time of 6:30pm, but the little stinker just wasnt ready for bed. So, I got him up to play for a little while longer. He was determined to get into things that he knows he's not supposed to, and this time, he was obsessed with the Play-doh tub that Grandma uses for Daycare. So, I plopped him in the highchair, so he could watch what I was doing, fed him some goldfish crackers and started cooking a non-toxic, edible playdough. I didn't want to use the common Peanut Butter variety, because I don't want him to think that he should always eat it, so we opted for the Koolaid version and shorted the koolaid on the recipie. It turned out great! and let me tell you, I tasted a bit of it and it's super salty! Devon loved to play with it and we made playdough masks, and glasses and squished it up for about 3o mins!!



Kool-Aid Playdough Recipie

1 Cup Flour
1/2 Cup Salt
3t Cream of Tarter
1T Vegetable Oil
1 Cup Water
1 package unsweetened Kool-Aid

Mix the dry ingredients together in a large sauce pan. On Medium heat, slowly pour in the Water and oil, stir until a doughy consistency. Remove from pan and kneed until it cools down. I discovered that if it's still really sticky, you can put it back into the pan and flip it a couple times until the edges firm up.

The end result is the same consistency as store bought play-doh

On Sunday, Devon was Crabby cakes and I was sick. At the end of the day, he was driving me crazy, so I filled up the pool and let him and Regen swim. Devon loves to play in the water!
My new camera takes pictures so quick that I can get great shot's like this one!

Alanna is a Teen!

Yay! Alanna turned 13 and entered the wonderful adventure that is a "teenager". Devon and I went to the pet store to look at the Fishy's and he saw a brightly colored Hermit crab and was obsessed. So after seeing Jenn's blog and learning all about the little critters, we decided to get one for Alanna's Birthday.

You can see the little crab on the Top left corner of the cage. He now has a bigger tank.

Regens 1st Birthday

We Celebrated Regens 1st Birthday with the whole family. We went to Grahams parents house and had a Bar-B-Q, and played on the slip and slide.

Devon really loved the Watermelon, and you can see the Tatoo that his Aunt Alanna put on his shoulder, and it stayed on for more then a week until Grandma finally scrubbed it off.
