June Cleaver Approved!: Edible Finger Paint

We've been going nuts here in the Cleaver house on Sundays. It's too cold to go out, it's too Sunday to go anywhere, and our little apartment just can't contain Wally. So.... ta-da! Edible finger paint. I googled (cuz that's what moms do nowadays lol) it, and I was getting recipes that involved cornstarch or flour or cooking on the stovetop. In the words of that one lady...

 

So I just used what I had... vanilla yogurt and food coloring. It works perfect! However, if you are going to try and actually paint on paper (as opposed to high-chair), I would recommend one of the other recipes. This, I feel, would not dry well. 

The great thing: Easy clean-up! Just plop the baby in the tub, and rinse off the high chair!

A Bad Week at the Cleaver House

It's only Wednesday, and I'm already writing off this week. It has just been one thing after another. On Monday, I stopped by the Dollar Tree to pick up some things, and I managed to not only lock my keys in the car, but the car was still running. As I realized this, my phone died. Luckily, I was able to borrow a girl's cell phone and call both my husband and Roadside Assistance, but my car was idling for about 30 minutes total. Then, my period started that same day- yuck. And now, today, after Ward spent all yesterday evening working on the car (getting it in shape for the emissions inspection), the car won't start. It just goes chugga-chugga-chugga and won't start. Seriously?!?I guess on the plus side I get to spend all day with Wally at home, and maybe even work on my thesis (gasp!). And maybe shop for cars. If this is a major repair, the car's worth less than the repairs.
