The sun has finally made an appearance in our corner of the world. We couldn't be happier with the 80 degree temps and gentle breezes. It also made for a fun weekend with visiting family: Grammy, Boppa, and darling cousins M, M and Q. We shared lots of giggles and loves and great food, and together we did some of this:
and some of this:
and ate some of this (my dad's favorite cake)
and when the little guy was napping, all the girls enjoyed this movie.
To make your own sidewalk paint: For each color, combine 1/4 cup Cornstarch and 1/4 cold water in plastic container (8 oz size or so). Stir well and add 6-8 drops food coloring. Stir again and grab your favorite crafty paintbrushes. Insert sunny day and a couple of kids, and you've got it made! Note: paint came off the ground with just water. We didn't have any spills on our clothes, so I'm not sure how it washes out. Paint looks pale when wet, but dries dark. Enjoy!
