Pinterest Project/Creative Mess!

So I have to go back to work next week :(  Before I am not here all the time, I decided that I wanted to be "super mom" and do something really fun for Colson.  So I got on Pinterest and was determined to find a fun project. 

What a great idea, right?!  Colson loves to play with his trucks & tractors and he loves to play with sand-like material!  What's even better is that it's super simple to make, flour + baby oil.  So I whipped up my own batch and Daddy set him up in the garage.  

My nicely "contained" batch of Moon Dough

Thank the Lord I listened to hubby and let him play in the garage, I was going to let him sit at the dining room table (proof that I might just have lost my mind)!  He did have fun and played for over an hour, but oh the mess he made!

It's hard to see how big of mess it was and trust me it stuck to every crevice in a shoe and tracked all over my entryway.  Maybe next time I have a bright idea, I will refer back to this post!

Painting Pumpkins

After preschool, I took the kids to The Pumpkin Place in Princeville.  It's located at somebody's house and they have tons of pumpkins ranging from $1-$7.  I got 7 good sized pumpkins for $15!  The man that owns the place was so nice and he gave Livi and Cole each a gourd pumpkin and a small piece of Indian corn for free :)  When we came home, Liv and I each painted our pumpkins and Colson supervised!

Hmmmm, should I eat it?

Colson wanted to go after the bigger pumpkins next, but those are for carving!

 I had lots of fun with my kiddos this afternoon!
