Yesterday I woke up to a dark and rainy day. I was thrilled. We hadn't had a day of rain since May and I was more than ready for some moisture. But I was not ready for the disaster my morning became.
Freddy arrived, and this was obviously a stay at home and play day so I decided to make play dough. As I stirred away and congratulated myself for being such a cool mom, Jilly sat on the floor with a pen scribbling all over her brand new outfit. Yeah, not so cool.
I finished the play dough and managed to get blue food coloring all over my sleeve. I got the kids all set up with play dough and cookie cutters. The little stinkers played for all of 2 minutes and were then done with my play dough. I was annoyed to say the least, but I got them down and started the cleanup process. Let me explain it this way-
time kids played with play dough < time it took to make play dough < time it took to clean up play dough
So I gave up and we watched movies the rest of the day...

You had an Erickson in your class at canyon crest, I recognize that pig pastry spatula!!
Haha....sorry that your bad day made me laugh a little. I am just picturing your face when you saw the pen all over jilly's outfit. You are a good mom for trying. I would have skipped the play dough all together and gone straight to movie..at least you tried!
