Beet Juice Playdough
Ahhh a moment of peace and quiet. The girls wanted to get a lot of things done today so they raced to get the chores done. I can not believe that all the chores were done and everyone was showered by 11am.
Two days ago as I made spaghetti I accidentally opened a can of beets instead of mushrooms. We do not usually buy beets but Noelle has been wanting them. She started eating them at James' dad's house and she likes them. That is when I saw the color of the juice and decided that it would make a pretty substitute for food coloring.
So today we made some pretty pink playdough. It worked out great. I just used some of the juice as part of the water needed. If I do it again I think I will use all of the juice instead of just half of it. It looked like it would be darker than what it was in the end.
Now the kids are all busy playing in the kitchen and I am catching up with a couple of TV shows that I have recorded. After a bit I think we will make apple crisp so I can get rid of some apples I have in the fridge that no one has been eating.
That is about it for today. James is supposed to leave work by 3pm. He and Noelle are going to get some groceries. She insists on going with him now so she can pick out some healthy foods. She also wants to make sure he remembers to get some cornstarch. We still have some beet juice left so she wants to see how ooze will look with beet juice coloring.
After all the time I spent on the computer yesterday I think I will just sit around all day. Maybe this will be a popcorn and movie kind of day.
