Play!

What a compliment

we had

after a night out,

returning home to a note

from our babysitter~

Good to hear,

especially since

sometimes they can be

pretty

crazy!

I have been

reading about

"sensory play"

and decided to give

it a try.

It should be re-named

"messy day play",

because none

of the sensory activities

are clean.....

Shaving cream

started out innocent enough...

a little more brave...

a little further

onto the body....

then shaving

"like Mommy"...

and suddenly,

they are snowmen!

For the next activity

I wanted to do

an "Ocean play".

I asked a friend

if her kids would like to join us,

and thought it would

be great to do

at HER house (hehehe).....

(just kidding, they just happen 

to have a kiddie pool, we don't!)

We had blue spaghetti

for "seaweed",

I froze Ocean animals

in blue ice

and made balls into

jellyfish.

The boys loved it.

They were not afraid

to mush around

in the seaweed,

and even taste-tested!

The poor little lady

wanted nothing

to do with

that gross stuff!

She hung out with us,

hoping we would soon

go do our nails!

No play date

is complete

without

a screaming match!

whats next?!
