For two months I got a little glimpse of what it would feel like to be a stay-at-home mom. It was nuts most of the time, especially with a new born baby. It wasn't a true test either because Erin was home too, helping all the time. It's a tough tough job and I have to give him HUGE credit for tackling the task every day. It was FUN though. I discovered Pinterest. What a plethora of fabulous ideas, tidbits, recipes, tricks, thoughts, etc. I spent hours at night feeding the baby and pinning away. I had even more fun trying out some of my finds with Jack and Charlie. We got crafty. I think they had a good time too. Here are some pictures of some of our little projects and crafts that I caught on film.
 |
| Worms in the dirt (aka pudding, oreo cookies and gummy worms) needless to say, they really loved this one! |
 |
| Glow sticks in the bathtub! |
 |
| Squirt bottle sidewalk paint |
 |
| Mud cupcakes, yummy. |
 |
| This box was a pirate ship, an airplane, a speed boat, etc. It entertained them happily for 90 minutes. Who needs toys!!? |
 |
| Charlie was a huge help making cookies. |
 |
| Baking soda fun |
 |
| Jack really enjoyed this sidewalk paint |
 |
| shaving cream was another one that kept them busy for quite awhile |
 |
| Who doesn't love a hotdog octopus!? |
 |
| Marble shoot. Jack ended up setting up elaborate marble course runs throughout the house. |
 |
| Painting marshmallows with milk paint. Then we got to eat them! |
 |
| Home made playdough |
 |
| Thin mint owl. |
