Check out Porter's little aliens found below. He created them out of the jello play-doh we made a couple of weeks back. I think they are so cute!
My kids are always up for a messy art activity, and I found the perfect one for them today: Sidewalk Squirt Paint. I had been waiting to bust this art activity out for awhile now, and with today's beautiful, sunny weather, there was no better time.
This activity was actually pretty easy to set up. I just needed some squirt bottles, equal parts of cornstarch and baking soda, a few drops of neon food coloring, and enough water to let the concoction flow. The kids had a blast, and our driveway is now the most colorful in all of Orrville. We will definitely be making sidewalk squirt paint again.

On our way out to pick Porter up from school, the snowflakes were falling with force over Orrville.
Stella just had to experience them for herself!

Last weekend, I made Jello play-doh for the kids (although, in all honesty, I've enjoyed my fair share of playtime with it as well). The task was a little daunting due to the number of colors I made, but all in all, this homemade project was well worth the time. The play-doh has a great texture, smells delicious, and has held up very well against my two rascally rugrats who want to play with it all the time.
I found this project on the website Modern Parents Messy Kids, and the ingredients were quite simple and inexpensive. All you need to make a batch is white flour, salt, cream of tartar, cooking oil, water, and a box of Jello.

Friday afternoon is finally here! Daddy is fresh off the plane from Nashville, Porter is home from school, Stella is up from her nap, and Momma has the camera fully-charged and ready to go. Let the weekend begin!
Check out this funny below of my wild, booty-shaking munchkins:

Earlier this week, I tried my hand at making watercolor paints from a recipe on Skillshare. The ingredients were simple enough, just using baking soda, cornstarch, white vinegar, corn syrup, and food coloring (all items I already had on hand).
Although it looked like a bomb went off in my kitchen after I finished making these 24 watercolors, the mess just might have been worth it. The paints actually worked very well, and Porter was quite proud of my efforts. Score for Mommy!

Dear S.O.S,
You are such an amazing young lady. When you were born I was absolutely terrified of having a baby girl. The thought of you growing up and all the girly problems were more than I could bear. While I am still quite concerned about all of that, I have come to realize that it will all be okay.
You are such an amazing young lady. When you were born I was absolutely terrified of having a baby girl. The thought of you growing up and all the girly problems were more than I could bear. While I am still quite concerned about all of that, I have come to realize that it will all be okay.
You have an amazing heart and a strong will. You are also loved and know you are important. I like that you know what you want and have the persistence to pursue it relentlessly. I like that you give hugs and kisses and like to snuggle. I also have to admit that I do quite enjoy that I am your favorite person. You always want me to hold you or kiss something to make it better. You run to me if you are scared or are looking for security. I absolutely love to hold you, it never gets old. I also think I realize the time is not far off that you won’t want to be held any longer. Just remember, as you grow older, wiser, and more mature, I will always be your daddy, and you, will always be my one and only little girl.
Love you always,
Daddy
Love you always,
Daddy
Porter was so happy that it snowed today! He could hardly wait to get home from school and play outside...

Stella wanted to stop by Daddy's work to show him her new glittery dress. She even managed to cover Daddy in glitter so he would look beautiful for all of his co-workers!
