I hope this finds you all safe and sound in the aftermath of Sandy's visit. I'm fortunate that we made it without losing power, and the only thing she left in her wake were extra branches to be picked up and some flashing needing to be replaced on the house. I'm sending loving thoughts to those who didn't fair as well.
Playing with shaving cream can keep my son busy for hours. Driving his truck and diggers through the foamy stuff is great fun. And inexpensive! :) It's also great to practice vocbulary or spelling words.
Slime! A great, economical activity!
1/2 cup corn starch
1 cup water
Food coloring

Slowly add water to the corn starch, while mixing constantly.

I'm greatful to have my family home safe and sound. How did you and your family spend time with Sandy?
Holy smokes - you do a storm in style! I love the festivities, especially the cocoa and family craft time! It was certainly a scary storm - we were lucky only to loose power from about 9pm till 5 am, which made little impact. Still we had a busy craft filled day yesterday! Oh and I LOVE the color of Sophia's beautiful cowl!
