Michael was also working on his "masterpiece" as well so I asked him what he was painting. He answered "Un gros mess, Maman!" How true! I laughed so hard!
So that was 20 minutes! hee!hee! Then we made PlayDoh....much fun as well! They get a kick out of measuring the ingredients. When I pulled out the flour from the pantry Michael said "fait des crepes Maman?"...obviously I'm NOT a baker because the only time the flour comes out is when we make pancakes! Busted!!!
I couldn't talk Michael into making any other colour then blue (which we made last time) but Abbey chose green this time. It's so messy and I basically have to soak them in the bath for an hour to get the food colouring off their hands. I should buy some disposable gloves to help the situation?!?
We also went outside for a while to "help" Daddy with the rink, went for a walk, played in the basement, did puzzles, watched Mickey Mouse Club House (a new favourite) and this was all BEFORE lunch!
And people wonder why I love my weekend naps! ha!ha! Hope your weekend was as eventful!

Hey I am Steph's friend Amy. I teach in the UK. I was just reading your blog which I found linked to Steph's blog. I teach a pre-kindergarten class (4-5 year olds). We make playdough all the time and I always add the food colouring right to the liquid before I add the water to the flour. No mess, just still it in...if you want to make two different colours just make two batches.
I love Saturdays too, and yours was as busy as much but much more fun!!!
HOw is the rink.... pictures soon?
Chantal,
You need to use the kool-aid recipe for play doh. It is much easier, less msessy, and it smells yummuy!
