Family Fun

I just subscribed to Family Fun Magazine. I am really excited for it to come. When you sign up you also get a digital copy in your email inbox 2 min later. I have a goal of trying to do a project or activity with Parker every day so that we don't get too bored here in the Young house. So when I saw a recipe for play dough I knew that would be Mondays project. Parker loved helping me make it and he loved it so much that it ended up being our project all week long. The dough is dyed by household items so we made brown with coco powder. It made me want a little snack every time we got it out, but the look on Nixon's face when he tried it told me it wasn't worth it.
Nixon kept eating it so I took it away from him because thats just gross.....He was very very unhappy with me

It was one of the first things we did every morning. Thats why my kids are still in the PJ's so back off. And sometimes we stay in our PJ's for a few hours in the morning. Judge me, thats fine.
It was so much fun I can't wait to plan the next activity for next week. I think we might tackle finger painting during Nixon's morning nap. I'm a little worried about that one though.

I just subscribed this week also. It will be fun to get new ideas. I'd do the finger paints in the driveway and wash them off with the hose after. Have fun!

What a great mom! And no one should judge you. Sometimes we spent most the day in our pj's and that was great!

I love that Nixon is screaming and you are snapping photos. What an insensitive mother you are... :) It was good to see you and the boys last week. They are so cute.
