Homemade Pasta


Dad outdid himself today. He let 4 (sometimes 5) children make homemade pasta with him.




Finn, not a fan of pasta, actually eats the homemade variety. Little snob.

Keeping Busy

"Spring Break" was slightly springy today with a high of 49.
We ventured to the Zoo and painted our faces. The Fuzz is a bird...eating a chicken nugget.
Our little cannibal.


Finn has been busying himself with our castle built from all recycled materials.

And we made breakfast for dinner. Always a treat!

Flubber!

We're on Spring Break this week (even if Spring doesn't show up). We were quite excited to have B over for a whole day. We made Flubber at the recommendation of Gina Rennpage Gabel. BIg Fun!

Mix warm water, glue, food coloring and Borax...

and voila! Flubber!
It bounces, isn't slimy despite all of the glue and is super fun to play with.
Saoirse did not agree with this review.

Unpublishable

The most "interesting" activity that went on this weekend was the use of Dinosaur stamps on Seamus' bum. I know you are wondering how one could even fit a T Rex or a Pteranadon on that tiny ass, but in fact, it is possible to fit 10 or 12 of the cretaceous creatures.

There is no photo for this post for fear that my blog would be removed from the internet and mama would be arrested on child pornography charges.
