Toddler Volcanoes
It should come as no surprise that this idea was found on Pinterest. Sprinkle baking soda in the bottom of a dish. Pour vinegar into separate small bowl. Add food coloring to vinegar. Using a medicine syringe/dropper, squeeze some vinegar onto the baking soda. Watch the bubbly magic happen. Some mommy help was definitely needed. ...
Playdate
It’s so fun to have playdates to watch the kids learn to interact with other little people … and to chat with other moms too, of course. We recently had our friends EJ, Becca, and Mom Karey over to play with playdough and do some spray painting (water + food coloring). The most requested formation ...
Getting settled in
First time experimenting with glue! Forgive the flash, but I just love the grin! I drew the tree (and the swing; awesome, right?), and Corban decided where the glue went for the leaves. He loved saying, “Goo, goo, goo.” The Big Cheese himself. Aah, fall is beautiful. And it’s equally beautiful that I feel settled ...
Helping (aka making a mess)
Yesterday, I was making some waffles to freeze for breakfasts. Corban’s all-time favorite thing to do in the kitchen (besides unloading the dishwasher) is to stir. So naturally, he wanted to help stir the mix. While he was helping, Jaeda started crying. In the 30 seconds that I was gone, he managed to do this: ...
Sidewalk Chalk: Paint Style
Sorry, guys, this is a photo post. I couldn’t choose just 3, so I choose…16. Haha. I found this recipe for sidewalk chalk paint. With Corban’s love for painting, this provided a new medium! Jaeda rocked the chill pose. Nelle and A-en (aka Distract-o-Man) joined us outside. I felt a real ’80s splatter vibe going ...
Moon Sand
Corban and I have some really great friends. It’s so refreshing to all hang out together, our mini body of toiling, believing mothers and kids. Just today we were discussing methods of discipline–those we respect, those who point us in other directions by their poor results. Even amidst all the opinions, there were plenty of pauses as ...
Puffy Paint{ing}
It all started when I found this awesome recipe for puffy paint. We embarked on our painting journey totally clean. Surprisingly, Corban was totally into getting messy. (Remember our last painting endeavor?) He was engrossed in mixing colors… …and helping me with my creation. The paint was pretty easy to rub off. He filled up his first piece of ...
The dog days of summer.
It’s been blazing hot here lately. So we’ve been playing in the pool. Cheesy grins. Learning to share our kitchen pool “toys.” Lots of splashing and falling… …and throwing. Sunscreen + balls + friends + water = ohsomuchfun
