Spring Break 2011

Ok so I haven't posted on here since Payton was born. I had good intentions of posting everything about our baby girl on here but it didn't happen. I did however post alot on Facebook. I have recently started searching blogs and looking for crafts and things to do with Payton. And I got an itching to start posting things on my own blog so here it goes.

First of all our Spring Break started with cleaning out the garage and trying to get the entire house cleaned so we could put it on the market to sale. We are building a new house and it is coming along good. I'm sad to to be selling our house, but extremely excited about building a new one!!




On Saturday, the first official day of Spring Break, we took a trip to the Sandhills with some friends! It was Payton's first time and she really enjoyed it!





On Sunday Chris was home and we decided to get out the little Camaro Payton got for Christmas and see if she could drive it now. She was unable to do so when she got it. She did really good and was actually able to reach the pedal and drive it some!! So exciting!!



The rest of the week was busy. We got our house on the market and had several showings right away. But on Thursday it finally slowed down again and Payton and I had a fun day! First we painted with bubble paint in the bathtub! Heres how we made it:

You mix 1 cup of bubble bath clear in color) with 4 TBSP of cornstarch. Then divide it into small containers. We did 5. Add a couple drops of food coloring to each. Be careful not too add to much so it won't stain. Then the fun may begin!!






While Payton was down for nap I made some Kool Aid playdough. Here is the recipe:

1 1/4 cups all purpose flour
1/4 cup salt
1 pkg. Kool-Aid Unsweetened Drink Mix, any flavor
1 TBSP Cream of Tartar
1 cup boiling water
1 1/2 TBSP oil

Mix the first 4 ingredients together in a large bowl. Add boiling water and oil. Stir 3 to 4 min, or until cooled, then mix with hands until well blended.

Place on was paper; knead until no longer sticky, adding additional flour 1 tsp. at a time if necessary.

Store in air tight container in refrigerator.

Repeat above process for each color of kool-aid play dough you want to make.





Well thats all for now! As you can tell we are enjoing our Spring Break! I don't want it to end!! Oh well only a couple more months until Summer is here and we get to meet our little Bryson James!
