IN THE KITCHEN
We continued to explore rainbows this week. I saw this article in my Family Fun magazine and knew we had to try it out!
All you need is a box of cake mix. Now I'm not a fan of the Betty Crocker/Pillsbury mixes because of the yucky hydrogenated oils & sugars in the mixes. I found a great alternative at Trader Joes (of course!).

Make the batter as directed on the box and divide evenly into 6 containers.
Add food coloring.
I am so disappointed in myself for not getting a picture of the finished cupcakes (I stole this one from the Family Fun website). They turned out so stinkin' cute and the kids thought they were so cool. Rather than frost them I just squirted some whip cream from a can on top. Go get the recipe for yourself as I know it will become our St. Patricks Day tradition from here on out!
PLAYDATEWe had a fun day with our friends Maya and Sean!! I froze colored water in mini muffin tin and let them experiment with them melting.
It was cool at first but then I think it just made brown...oh well they had fun anyways.
The girls got some swing time in ~
Little Seany with his ever so kissable, squishy cheeks!
Our only art project all week was this tissue paper rainbow. I just love how colorful rainbows are and think we will have to revisit this theme again this summer!
Nana & Papa have a pretty high toilet seat so when Meg has to go #2 she can't reach her books. (Seriously, who poops without reading?! Not my kids! Especially when they like to take their time.) When we came to pick them up the next day, this is what I found. I totally love it - a TV tray in the bathroom. Think of the possibilities....
