Ice Cubes

Yesterday I froze things in ice and asked Tyla and Arlee if they could figure out how to get the things out.. Arlee figured it first, Tyla tried to pick them out with her fingers...





Then the filled up cups and an ice cube try with things of their own



And to end a long ribbon glued onto a broken jump rope handle which provides hours of entertainment, actually I probably should of made two..

Finger Print Sheep and Home Made Bathtub Fingerpaint

We made fingerprint sheep and they both actually payed attention and followed the directions..

 











Then tonight I made homemade bathtub finger paints, which they both decided to use a paintbrush for instead of their fingers.
1/3c no tears soap
1 tbsp cornstarch
food coloring
This is Tyla's Rapunzel>>>>>>




The paint
 
And Arlee's painting!

Cookies for breakfast?

Tyla did these all herself, including mixing them up and dropping them onto the cookie sheets, granted they were a little oddly shaped but they were still good! :)

3 bananas, mashed
2 cups quick oats
1/2 cup raisins
1 egg
1/4 cup milk (I used almond milk)
1tsp cinnamon
1tsp vanilla
1 TBSP honey
Bake @ 350' on greased cookie sheet 15
