Making Slime

Kimi sent me a website a while back on how to make slime with your kids. Since I'm the coolest mom ever, I decided to give it a try. It was really easy, and it only used four ingredients. The kids thought it was awesome; even I had fun playing with it. They got out Sierra's kitchen toys to use with the slime, too. The best part? There is nothing to clean up from the slime. It's not like PlayDoh, were you get a ton of little crumbs everywhere. It will stick in carpet (which we found out at GG's), but you're good to go on the tabletop and on linoleum. You really should try it out with your kids! Here are some pictures of our fun. Enjoy!

The start of slime.

I'm pretty sure Tyner is saying "Awesome" in this picture.

We used plastic stencils to make shapes in the slime.
All stretched out.
I had to take this video so you could HEAR what the slime sounds like.

Random Pictures 537

I numbered this post so high because I feel like I'm always posting Random Pictures on here. Anyway, here are some videos and pictures I have taken in the last few weeks.

This first video was actually taken on September 2nd. Dropshots wouldn't upload the video for some reason, so I didn't post it then. So, I'm doing it now. This was right after dinner; Zeke and I were finishing up and just kinda' hangin' out. The kids were playing crazy, and Zeke was loving it.

This next video shows the extent of Zeke's walking thus far. He only takes about four steps at a time. But he is standing alone a lot more now, and when he is cruising along the furniture, he is starting to let go of things before he is holding on to the next thing. Sorry it's so dark, but that's how our living room is in the evenings.

Here are the kidshelping me frost Papa's birthday cake. He really likes coconut cake (just a white cake with white frosting and coconut all over it), so I made him one again this year. I think for his 80th birthday, I'm going to make him the ultra-deluxe Alton Brown Coconut Cake. It's one where you use real coconuts and real flour and sugar, and all those fresh ingredients.

Zeke discovered Jason's TV in our bedroom the other day, and kept trying to get the screen.

Well, that's all the random photos I have for now. Hope you liked them. If not...too bad! :D
