Productive Weekend

The boys and I went to Atlanta for the weekend so my sister and I could try to do a few things around mom and dad's house.  My sister brought Kendall and I took the boys so maybe they would entertain each other while Kristy and I worked............easier said than done.  We ended up playing with them a good bit of the time too. :)  Friday night we made play doh.  Brady made stormy blue, Cal made neon green and Kendall did green apple.  I forgot my camera, so these were taken with my cell phone and did not transfer well, sorry for the blurry pictures.
 
My sister let them have gloves...Matt said to note that the play doh is not toxic!
I thought this looked cool when the colors were mixed
My mom's cookie cutter drawer/play doh tools drawer

Recipe for Play Doh

1cup flour
2 tsp. cream of tartar
1/2 cup salt

Mix together

1 cup water
1 Tbsp cooking oil
Food Coloring (we used the neon)

Bring to a boil in saucepan.  Pour over dry ingredients and mix well.  It will be hot for a few minutes, so wait to let the kids play with it.  Knead until very smooth.


While we were in Atlanta Matt was busy here playing golf..........I mean working!  [Just seeing how close he reads the blog!]  The FOR SALE sign went up in our yard on Thursday, so he still had several little projects to do around the house that involved paint and would for sure be easier without the boys.
Here is a picture of the For Sale sign and the lock box on our door. 




This is exciting and really scary all at the same time.  We did have someone come look on Sunday. 
Feel like I should do one of those ticker things for how many days the house is on the market?????

  1. How exciting to have the house on the market! You'll have to share your experiences on the blog...also pics of the rooms now that you have gotten them all ready. Can't wait to hear how it goes.

  2. Moving? Where? A particular street in Sturbridge next to the Moore's?
