Since the pool is closed...

we now have entire afternoons that need filling.

Today we made sidewalk paint.

The recipe is all over the internet.  Equal parts water and cornstarch, plus a little food coloring.  Extra large muffin tins hold a half cup perfectly.

After being the mama of boys for almost 5 years, I should have known that when the shoes came off, things were about to get messy.

And there I was, left with painted splattered feet and a missing red Croc.
