Look what we've been up to!!

My kids are 2 and 5 so I decided I needed to start doing some fun family activities at home to keep us from watching too much TV and to help us grow developmentally.  So we did some shaving cream art, made homemade bath paints, and had a picnic.  The shaving cream art took me 10 minutes to set up and clean up and it took Luke 2 minutes to take off running with shaving cream flying from all parts of his body.  Note to self....... shaving cream art should only be done in the bath tub.  The bath paints were great.  A friend gave me the recipe from pintest:  1 cup baby wash 4 TB corn starch.  Mix in muffin tin then add food coloring.  I doubled the recipe, which I did not need to.  This was great I will do this one again.  Both kids loved it.  The water became a very gross brown but we had fun.  Lauren loves picnics.  We hadn't had one for a while because Luke needs to be strapped into his seat because he doesn't stay seated and he is very messy.  We had food that wasn't very messy so I thought we could try it.  Luke only got up from his meal 5 times.   Looks like we are not getting out of the high chair any time soon.  The last picture is their usual activity.....cuddling with each other under their blankets.
