Making Slime

We woke to more snow, and cold. While we are ready for Winter to be done, it doesn't look like it's going anywhere anytime soon.

So I loaded the boys up in the van, and off we went to the store to buy some glue to make slime! I walked out of the store with Ollie on my hip, and a bag hanging from my arm.  Fin ran ahead, stopping only when his tippie toes hit the curb of the sidewalk. He gets as close as he can to the road, but knows to wait. I grabbed his hand as he started to run again, "please walk in the parking lot, okay bud?" He looked up at me with a goofy grin and then decided that if he couldn't run he would just hop the rest of the way to the van. With Ollie on my hip I tried to time my steps to Fin's jumping as the bag swung on my arm. That boy is such a go-getter.

I googled a quick recipe for slime using white glue, baking soda and contact solution. It took us a couple of tries to get it right, but it was so fun once we did! I joined the boys at the table for a bit because playing with slime is way more fun than cleaning a house...

Naps were had....

Blueberry muffins were made...

I feel like I've been doing a lot of baking to survive these last few months of Winter. The kids came home and inhaled deeply through their noses, "MMMMM!" I lost count of how many Hyrum ate. The slime was a hit with everyone while I made dinner. No Monday blues over here today!
