today...

A happy meal no longer suffices for my growing boy.  He eats a ton already.  What will I do?!!  Hamburger, apple slices & nuggets...then he added a few celery slices.  He was satisfied for about 2 hours...then he was back at it!
 We eat popsicles most days in the summer.  Aren't these pretty?

 We made Rainbow Stew.  It's what Adly made at science camp, but Holt squished it all together.  So...
2 cups water, 1/2 cup corn starch, 3 tbsp. sugar, red, yellow & blue food coloring.
Mix all ingredients, except for food coloring in heated skillet...
 until thick
 divide into three bowls, let cool to touch. 
Add a few drops of food coloring to each.  Stir.
 Add each color in order of red, yellow and blue into ziploc baggie...beside each other.
squish together to mix colors and make rainbow!!
 Pretty!  Good lesson in primary and secondary colors!
 little candy apples...
2 granny smith apples (bigger than I used & I only had 1).
lollipop sticks
peanut butter candy melts
sprinkles
little baking cups
 use melon baller to cut out round shapes, make sure each piece has peel piece on it.
poke lollipop sticks into each ball
 melt candy and dip apples into it
 From Family Fun...ours didn't turn out as cute!
 Here they are...still cute though, huh?

  2. When we go to Chick-Fil-A, Mason now requests 6 nuggets instead of 4, and then says he's still hungry!! When do we start getting them adult combo meals??
