Food, Goo and a Spill

For lunch today I filled a muffin tin with things for the girls to eat. They seemed to think that was cool... I still couldn't get them to eat their sandwiches- even though they were tiny sandwich 'sticks.' But the raisins, goldfish, apples and peanut butter were a hit.



Then I made this goo stuff. It wasn't made out of glue, like I've done before. But instead it was just 2 cups of cornstarch and 1 cup of water. Mix it together, as best you can, and then play away. I have no idea the scientific reasoning behind it, but when you hold it, its hard, you open your hand and it runs off. It's the neatest thing to play with!!


I guess the girls had a little too much fun. Apparently Amy dripped some over Savannah's head!

Amy still isn't feeling well. I was up with her all night. At some dark thirty hour I pulled her bed mattress into the living room for her to lay on while she watched a movie and I tried to get some sleep on the couch. I'm trying not to let myself get run-down because then I'll get sick too. And no one wants that.

If spilling things is a sign of tiredness- then I must be beyond exhausted. In previous posts I've mentioned other spills. Yesterday I knocked over the entire container of flax seed. Yeah- that's almost worse than the brown sugar..... then the pile of tupperware came crashing down on me.

Today's spill?? Spaghetti sauce.

I *almost* cried when I realized what it was. Needless to say- I cannot WAIT until these kids stop fighting their own exhaustion and are passed out so I can get some sleep too!!

You have the best ideas. You're so creative. I'm in awe of your ability to be so fun and creative even when exhausted. I do good to just function when I'm tired.
