Giraffe

We found a great giraffe dress up costume at the swap shop this week.

Willow's lil buddy Colin.These two are inseparable when they hang out.

Snow

Its been snowing on and off for a few days in Portland but not enough for it to settle. Until this morning. It was all a bit rainy and slushy so there wasn't loads of it.So we quickly put on our wellies and ventured outside for a play before it all melted away. Which was a good plan as there was nothing left when we returned from storytime.

Our neighbor's snowman

 

There were lots of great big puddles to splash in.

Today Willow wanted a cat hat from Olive.

Painting Pasta

Our pre-dinner distraction today was painting pasta shapes.

OMSI and Peppa

We went to OMSI this morning and had lots of fun with bubbles, water and giant acorns.

And when we got home the post man had finally delivered our long lost christmas gift from cousin Katie. It only took 33 days to get here from the UK. It was well worth the wait Willow LOVED IT.

Cloud Dough and Chilli

I've been trying to find some activities for Willow to do while i make her dinner in the evenings as to be honest she is a bit of a pain this time of the day. Its always impossible to entertain her and cook at the same time. So today i thought i would try some Cloud Dough. I found the recipe on Tinkerlab. With a ratio of 8:1 flour to oil, it was super quick and easy to make. The consistency of the dough is really weird. It can be powdery like flour one moment, and then moldable (like damp sand) the next. I threw is some measuring cups and cookie cutter shapes and viola 30 minutes peace and quiet.

It did get rather messy when we started to clean the dough away when Willow dumped the lot on the floor. Next time i think we'll use a larger tray and maybe experiment with some more flexible molds and some food colouring.

Chilli for our tea
