Tuesday

Yesterday it was kind of chilly. The kids asked if they could jump on the trampoline and were out for about 3.2 minutes:-) I decided we needed an afternoon activity, so we made playdough! We had a lot of fun. Even though I have a love/hate relationship with the stuff. It can provide hours of entertainment, but it is SO messy! Anyway, here are a few pics of the process and the recipe.
Mixing the playdough
