I like making things with Molly and Gabe. We have different projects or outings almost everyday. On days that I don't plan anything they run around tearing our apartment apart and driving me crazy. One of the things that we've made a couple times is homemade gak. I store it in a Ziploc and every time we pull it out we need to add more starch, or it looks like this.
Gabe is never a fan of gak, but he's always insistent on playing with it for a couple of minutes before returning to play dough. We've also made our own play dough. I LOVE homemade play dough. We still have some that we made in December and it hasn't dried out. Fantastic.

A few weeks ago I watched my dear friend Becky's kids. Here is Gabe holding her little guy. I think it's funny in this picture that her baby doesn't look that much smaller than Gabe. (Her baby is only 2 months) I thought this was a sweet picture and since Gabe has been a bit of a monster recently I decided to include it. 3 of Gabe's "i" teeth just broke the surface and he has a strep rash. All of this makes for one crabby toddler and one frustrated mama.

When I have to get the laundry folded water always keeps them busy. Our patio is shaded until 12:30ish in the summer and we like to take advantage of it.
