Oh What Do We Do in the Summertime; When all the Kids are Sick.

Well, a few weeks ago we had some sort of sickness.
Mainly headaches. Some coughs.
When we had dwindled down to just one sicky,
I decided we needed to brighten the place up.
And what better way to brighten a place up than with a
RAINBOW!
And what better to make into a rainbow that Play-dough!!


I have a drawer in our kitchen
It is the kids' drawer.



In it I keep toy dishes.
Also play-dough and tools.
(This is a trick I learned from my former MIL and current friend.)
This gives the kids something to do while I cook dinner,
mop, clean up, or do dishes.

Hope this gives you something to do if you need some cheering up,
or just want to add a splash of color.

Here is the recipe I use to make playdough:

1 cups flour

1/2 cup salt

1 cups water

2 TBSP vegetable oil

1 tsp. cream of tartar

food color

Mix dry ingredients

Mix wet ingredients in separate bowl

Add together in a saucepan

Cook on low until the dough thickens to playdough consistency.

Kneed until the dough cools to
