Homemade sidewalk paint

A few days after we made the fizzy sidewalk paint I decided to try regular sidewalk paint. I figured Lil would still like it even without the fizzy and spray bottle aspects and I wasn’t disappointed. She loved it and I had to call it quits way before she was ready. It was a lot colder that day then I had realized so we only got about 20 minutes of playing in before I was a Popsicle and decided that we had to go in.

I mix about a cup of corn starch and 2/3 cup of water, once it’s dissolved add a good squirt of clear dish soap and mix well. I then divide it into an old 6 well muffin tin and then add food coloring to it. It washed off easily and is a blast. I have found that depending on the kind of food coloring I use it might stain the sidewalk a little bit, but the sun will bleach it out soon enough.

As you can tell Lily loved this.

I would give this a 9 out of 10 crayon rating. It took about 2 minutes to put together and washes up wonderfully. Best part of all, Lily loved it.

Lily has been very into dressing up lately. This is how she decided to go to dinner the other day.

This is how we found her once we got to the restaurant. Grrr, but so cute.

We had to put my almost 16 year old cat (Jingle) to sleep this week. It was so hard, but also we felt it was time and putting it off any longer would have been cruel. Jingle is the lighter colored one. This was her last meal.

About 30 minutes after we got back from the vet Fed ex delivered my new sewing machine. It really helped to turn my day around.

This is Lil’s newest obsession, making up exercises. This is the belly bridge.

Lily’s cousin Brock has been over playing a lot this week. I love this picture. The super heros are taking a well deserved break.
