A Little Bit of Fun

I love my job. Okay, I suppose I should put that in past tense as I am currently unemployed due to our impending move to Idaho (13 days!). I loved my job.

The best part about it (besides the fulfillment of helping children with disabilities) was/is the schedule. I get summers and holidays off. So during each of those times I get to be a (temporary) SAHM. Today I got to do just what I love. Come up with a creative something and let my kids go wild. Today only the 2 year old got to do the wild part. The baby...yeah she's not so big on painting yet.

Anyway. A while back I had pinned this craft idea on Pintrest. (What? You haven't heard of Pintrest?! You MUST go see. It's like a bulletin board for the internet. Think of it like bookmarking with pictures and notes. Love it!)

 I wish I could have gotten her picture when she saw this tray of paint. She was so excited and then said " Thank you Mommy! You're best". One of those melt your heart mom moments. 

Here's the scoop. You mix equal parts cornstarch and water in a muffin tin (I used 3 TBS each). Then add food coloring. And voila! you have great outdoor sidewalk paint that washes off with a spray of the hose. My 2 year old was in hog heaven.

 Very busy coloring the back patio.

She was very annoyed to have to stop painting so I could take a picture. 

 We moved from the ground to the wall. I feel a framed version of this may be in my Father's Day future.
