day 11 Pin practise....

Soap Clouds.....for today's practice...it ACTUALLY WORKS!!! & it is super cool...it really does feel like clouds


The kids loved watching GROW! We only put it in for maybe 30 sec. to 1 min. & you can reheat it & it will continue to grow again....We used "Ivory" soap...this was a fun one!

eeewwwww....GAK!

 
So, I was taking pics of making our GAK, when I decided to do a video...(my kids thought it was hilarious to blow raspberries into the GAK once it was made...to which it made some wonderfully LOUD & obnoxious farting sounds!) & my camera let me know I was taking pics w/o the memory card in it...so, you will get the finished product pics of my kids being....well, kids!

 

Not sure why my pics are doing this...but will get to the bottom of it soon....Anyway....thank you Laura @ http://www.cometogetherkids.com/2010/08/gak.html.....It is super weird, feels like rubber & the process from glue to GAK literally is almost instantaneous...very fun stuff....should keep em busy for a couple MINUTES!!!! :p
Now Pinterest...what's for dinner?

WOW...how the days are flying bye.....

Apparently I am not so good at this blog updating thing...I promise to do better...then, I sometimes forget to take pics of my PINNING Practice, so you'll have to be patient with me...however, Rita is a babe & handling FB extremely well considering the last week she had! So, regardless..I am pinning the last couple of days (beside the reeses pb cup schmoe's-per buzzlight year-we had Sunday night..forgot the pic! sorry)
Honey Mustard Chicken...my 9 year old made! Next time I want to marinade them, but other than that, they were yum!
Bleach pen shirts....the first attempt didn't work at all...my bleach en was not bleachy anymore, so I bought a couple more & they worked..a little too good! They bled a lot, so the second attempt was not so great either, but my buddy wants to retry so, we may be pro's by the 20th shirt!

Noodle marble run has actually kept mine entertained for a couple hrs....so, score one for that!

Yes, I know this is lame & takes no effort, but it was really needed, so I did it anyway! 
(toilet paper rolls)


Day 3 of 30

Soooo, yes it is day 3 & no you didn't miss 1 or 2....I just hadn't posted pics yet....However on our FB page you can catch a glimpse & be added to the growing numbers of those who are accepting our challenge too!

So DAY 1: 
The Ultimate dessert...you have all seen it....& it is every bit as good as it looks...especially w/ vanilla ice cream! Obviously I used muffin tins & they work like a charm....however, take them out when they are cooled completely, mine crumbled a bit, just a bit, when they were still warm...although they are super yummy, warm! The kids didn't really like the first set...I got the fudgy brownie mix & I think the chocolates didn't go together or something, because the kids said they tasted like dirt!  So, I tried w/ milk chocolate & they liked em'



DAY 2
This was a quick one...nails...I always see these cool ways of doing nails & thought I would try one of em....these are actually a bit different than the ones I saw, which were clear w/ the glitter...

DAY 3
Chicken turnovers....or chicken crescent rolls....yum & quick....although I use canned chicken. I used to cook the chicken breast first & then cut it up & add it to the cream cheese...took at least 30 min. longer, so switched to canned & it tastes great too!
