What a busy day! The boys were up early this morning and Xander immediately requested a “breakfast burrito on the couch”. I told him he would have to wait until I finished my first cup of coffee before making demands.
After some morning playing for the boys and phone calls and emails for me, we headed outside.
I bought jello slime, which was very sticky and messy and fun to play with. My original plan had been blue jello (to look like water), but the grocery store was entirely sold out of blue jello, so I bought this instead and added food coloring to the water. Dollar store boats were a perfect addition. They enjoyed it for a while and then we hosed out the water table.
After almost 2 hours of playing outside, stripping out of their wet clothes and eating lunch, we played with a new product that Christine recommended- Mad Matter. It’s a combination of play-dough and kinetic sand. The boys really enjoyed it and it was easier to clean up then kinetic sand.
After that, we were back outside for more water fun. We filled up the pool (I brought out a few buckets of hot water to balance how cold the hose water was). They squirted and splashed and went down the slide. They were so happy and it was so gorgeous outside.
Xander found some kool aid in our pantry and insisted we make it. They’ve never had it before and they cheers-ed and then slammed it like college boys at a party.
We played outside until dinner and I am so exhausted I feel like I’ll be in bed around the same time as the boys. It was a great day!
