This weekend the kids and I were able to do quite a few crafts. Yes, yes, they are from Pinterest...I know, I know...I cannot help it I am hooked. Whoever came up with the idea - I am jealous...Such a good idea.
Colin and I did a firework painting. We meant to do it before the fourth of July but did not get a chance since I was on a trip. Here is the blog. It is a really cute idea. We may try it again next year to send out cards.
A craft idea that was a big success and very fun for both kids was this mess free painting. We taped them to the floor instead of a table. Meli had a blast walking all over hers and Colin used his fingers. He would get mad when Meli would walk on his. Lesson learned - spread them out more next time so that baby girl could not walk so easily on both. It will give me more time to intervene.
We did not get a chance to do this one yet, but we are going to do it this weekend. I think this project will be good for time-out. Colin is doing blue and Meli will have a pink one. They are going to love them! Another thing I love about Pinterest is that I get to find new blogs to follow. I am thinking of following the Hippie Housewife...actually probably all three. I love blogs!!
Oh, I have to add another recipe on this entry. It is a creamy tomato soup. It was delicious!! Absolutely delicious. I actually stayed pretty true to the recipe but used crushed tomatoes with basil and then used fresh cilantro. I hate wasting ingredients, so anything I could replace the past two weeks with cilantro (since I bought it fresh) I did. Plus, I love cilantro. The recipe is here. I love tomato soup.
