Finger Painting Fun

I was much better at beinga stay-at-home-mom when I actually was one.  X and I had a great routine, consistent activities, variation and lots of fun. Now I have a toddler and I'm not used to it. It's like weekend all the time. So I'm trying to get back into this stay home thing without it being daily trips to target and doing dishes constantly. 

So we made some finger paints and painted outside. Huge success. 

1/2 cup cornstarch
2 cups water
2 tablespoons sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
Food coloring

Cook until thick, let cool, stir in colors in small cups. 

Updating

I have not been good about posting, so I am trying to at least get photos uploaded, then I can add text, but I am post dating everything to keep chronology. So...if you want to read posts you will have to go back to February or check out some tags. I am working on getting pictures up from Puerto Rico, Arizona, moving, buying a house, summer, spring.....so many photos. 

Actually, after a quick blog survey, it seems that I also never actaully updated from last year either. SO...I will be doing that too. Maybe I will just link to new posts, or put a list here, or something, but jesus I have some cute photos of X learning to walk and talk and now that I am over a year removed from it, the time with my dad was really great for X and me in some ways, and those pictures aren't even here. And so many holidays and trips and X is only 2. I can't get behind now! 

First day of summer break

Today is my first real day of summer break. With moving,  closing out the school year, meetings, parties,  etc I just haven't had a lot of time with x. So today we found a new park and had a great time. I can't believe I have a two year old!
