Say Cheese!

I know I've said this about my other kids but this time it's absolutely true. My Viv is the happiest baby ever. She smiles whenever possible and hardly cries. She sleeps so well and is so content all the time. I feel very fortunate to have such a sweetie.

Pumpkin Playdough

We love October because of the beautiful Fall weather and changing leaves. We also love getting ready for Halloween. Today I made orange play dough with a little pumpkin spice and the kids made pumpkins out of it. They used black beans to make the faces.
Aren't they cute?
Isaac enjoyed pushing in beans rather than making faces, but at least it occupied his time for a good 30 minutes. (:

Two months and happy!

So this video is for Viv's Daddy. He hasn't seen her smile yet which is sad because she smiles all the time. It just seems that everytime I pull the camera out, she gets distracted and stops smiling. But the other night, I finally caught her smiling. So Daddy, this if for you! Hopefully it motivates you to do your best on your presentation and be AWESOME. Your daughter is rooting for you!

Sidewalk Painting

Here's the new activity that we tried. I've seen tons of ideas on the internet for sidewalk paint and decided to try it with my kids. It was really easy. I just mixed cornstarch and water and added food coloring to make chalk-like paint.

Then the kids did the rest.

When it dries, it looks just like chalk, but it is faint in color. Use a lot of dye to make it show up.
