Today is a monster making day. Then some quick yoga (
This video... still sore from snowboarding on Saturday.), and then back to the monsters. I'd like to have 3 finished and be calm at the same time. This is a challenge with Dr. Destructo lately.

We also made playdough. Dr. Destructo needs a little more structure in his day. (This was apparent yesterday... I swear he grew little horns.) New start, new day, new ideas. Mom and child need to be happy through most of the day. TV off,
Children's Indie Radio on.

| dr. destructo made all snakes and then squished the tops on |
This was the recipe I used from
Instructables. Her tutorial is fantastic, so please follow it.
2 C. Flour
2 C. Warm water
1 C. Salt
2 Tbs. Vegetable oil
1 Tbs. Cream of tartar
Food coloring
3 drops Lavender essential oil (my choosing)
 |
| mix everything but color and oil and then stir on low heat |
 |
| once it starts to pull away from the sides and starts looking like mashed potatoes it's done |
 |
| dr. destructo... not helping |
 |
| added the oil to help soothe and calm dr. destructo |

| success! |
Aw, I miss homemade play dough. My kids are at the stage where they are too big to enjoy it but not old enough to miss the enjoyment of it.
