Spring Break Part 1

I look forward to spring break every year.  I always have the whole week off and it's so much fun spending all day with all three kids.  I can't fib...I enjoy not waking up at 5:30am too!

One of the first activities we did this week was make floam!  I used my go-to slime recipe and just added tiny styrofoam beads.  I had trouble locating the beads at the store, so Mimi gave us an old squish pillow and we used the filling.  Katie was sure Mimi would be mad when I cut it open. 

First we mixed up the slime...


Then we added the little beads and they kind of made a mess...

I think we may have added just a bit too much of the styrofoam beads because the children became covered in tiny beads as they played.  Although messy, it was fun because it was more moldable than regular slime.  Plus, messes are fun!



While I cleaned up millions of teenie tiny beads (and it seriously took awhile - they are elusive little things), Kelton read a book.

Then we moved onto our next fun activity, balloon rockets!




So much fun! 
Stay tuned for the next installment of our spring break fun!

My kids love floam too and the store stuff leaves little balls behind too. Love the looks on the kids faces while they watch the balloon rockets.
