Aaaaahhhh Slime!!


Okay, so I have been trying to be more domestic and do art projects with Tyler since they don't do alot during their 3 hours of Kindergaten. Today was slime day. Our neighbor's daughter comes over once a week after school and I promised them that we could make slime again. Today was the day. I got the recipe off this awesome website (familyfun.com - if you need any fun ideas to do with your kids from Preschool through grade school, it's all themed by seasons and holidays). Anyhoo, we got all the things ready for making the concoction. But, it didn't turn out!! Unfortunately, I was lazy and guestimated on the amount of Borax... needless to say, the slime wasn't slimey, it was like a hard piece of chewed up bazooka gum. Yuck!

So, for all the efforts, it was only a 5 minute blurp of our day. Sigh... what could have been a 30-45 minute play time turned into a failed recipe... Oh well, at least I tried. I guess I'll have to make more next week!! So we scraped our hands and then played with Kelsie a little and now they're off to the yard to stomp in the slush.

Okay, you are amazing. My "crafts" consist of digging out coloring book and letting them cut them into a million pieces after they've colored the pictures! Or I print seasonal pages from the internet. Sigh. I am inspired by you!! Even if it didn't work!!!
