We've had two ice days this week. The first one on Tuesday wasn't really icy at all, but we stayed home all day. Thomas's school was cancelled so it was a long day. By the end of the day I had to pull out some new things to keep the kids busy and happy.
I made Thomas so "ooblek" it is just cornstarch and water and a little food coloring. When you hit it it is hard, but when you pick it up it is like a liquid. It is fun stuff! Here's the recipe: 2 cups cornstarch, 1 cup water with food coloring added to water. Just mix it the best you can.
I had to wash Kaylee and Matthews bedding so I just put their mattresses on the floor and let them have a fun time on the floor.
Kaylee and Matthew really wanted to go outside. I put their jackets on them and let them go outside. They didn't want to stay outside for very long.

I have never heard of ooblek I am so going to try this. Grayce gets tired of playdough. Cute pictures! You are such a creative mom, no wonder you have twins!
Hey, can you post the recipe for oobleck? I lost mine and want to make for the preschoolers. Everytime I look online I see different versions and I want the one I learned at BYU!! :)
you are such a fun mom!
I don't think I would venture with the goop stuff myself; too messy! I think the kids would eat it! You're too good! Can't wait to see all of you very soon!
