Homemade Kool-Aid Play Dough
I have made this back in the good ol' days of high school. How fun to make play dough with your kids. It is the perfect remedy to the dreaded "I'M BORED".
What you'll need:
2 1/2 cups flour
1/2 cup salt
1 tsp. cream of tartar
2 pkg. Kool-Aid
2 cups boiling water
3 TBS. oil
Directions: Mix together flour, salt, cream of tartar, and Kool-Aid in a bowl. Pour in the boiling water and oil. Mix and then knead until done. May want to make more then one batch to make lots o fun colors. Easy peasy pumpkin pie!
This is what "IT'S" all about!

Krazy Cake Lady
More Cali
The big reason we went to cali was for the sealing of Ellanor. And 2 little baby blessings. I am so thrilled my sis finally has kiddos. She is a great mom with both hands full. Truly overfilled with blessings.
California on my mind
California was WONDERFUL! Short but sweet. We had a blast and missed our home away from home. Weather was cool but we still rocked it. We even saw a dog runway fashion show (only in the OC). We stayed in Newport Beach and even had an ocean view from our room.Can't wait for the next trip.

Wanna hear something GROSS? SERIOUSLY GROODY
Yesterday I nearly pulled my hair out. Myles is Grumpy (i swear he is teething) he cried all darn day long.I was exhausted and MAXED OUT as we call it at my house. As I was trying to be the amazing mom/wife that I am Skyler came in the house and informed me there was a dead baby bird in the yard (yeah did not sign up for dead animals in the mommy contract. Does that make it null and void?) I asked her not to touch it and was kinda planning on checking it out (deeply hoping Bryson would be home soon to DEAL with the situation.) Just as a wonderful dinner was about to be served Bryson arrived home and found the baby bird that was not supposed to be touched. The girls had picked it up with a pitch fork and put it in a sand bucket. It gets better wait.... they then placed it under the slide and covered the top of the bucket so mom and dad would never see it. I guess so they could keep it YUCK. Technically they did not touch it WHICH WAS THEIR RESPONSE , but do I have to be specific and say "DO NOT TOUCH THE BIRD OR PICK IT UP WITH ANY TOOL OR OBJECT". Bryson held it up to the window and it was no baby a real full sized bird cramped into a little sand bucket. I dry heaved and ran away in fear. Well I seriously wonder what kind of little prissy girly girls I am raising. Any one want to donate some tutus and ballet lessons?
