Waiting

You'd think that after being 9 days late with our first baby, I would have learned not to rush this pregnancy thing. You think I would have learned not to start the count down till the due date, but some habbits die hard.
This baby will also be 9 days late. Well...just on time for him! Next time I get pregnant I'll just tack on an extra two weeks to my due date.

I'm never buying finger paints again

who'd have thunk that you can make your own non toxic finger paint. I ran out of my old stuff and thought I'd look online for a recipe and sure enough there it was; so simple and easy. As you can see from the picture it looks just as good as the stuff you buy in the store. I put my homemade paint in the old bottles. looks like I bought them that way.

Here is the recipe:

Home Made Finger Paint

Mix together 2 tablespoons of sugar and 1/3 cup of cornstarch in a small pan, then slowly add 2 cups of cold water.
• Bring to a slow boil, ruduce heat to low, stirring until the mixture becomes a smooth, almost clear gel (about 5 minutes).
• When it's cool, stir in 1/4 cup clear dishwashing liquid.
• Scoop equal amounts of the mixture into containers and stir in food coloring (or, for even more vibrant colors, use food coloring paste).

it is good for up to a month and is even fun in the bathtub as bubble paint.

oh sunlight makes the colours really brilliant.

hope you find this helpful.

What happened to blogging

Well I guess, I'm not that great at keeping this thing updated. But i'll give it one more shot

Things have changed drestically since my last post. mainly my expanding belly, which we have decided to name Jonah. He's due to be born this Sunday, but I think today would be a fun birthday to have. 07-08-09. I would love to have that birthday anyway.

So let's get to it Jonah, come out already.

Maya is all ready to be a big sister. She's super comfy in her big-girl bed and she carries around her doll as though it were her own baby (that is until she's bored of it and throws it violently to the floor) Anyways she has her Dora suit case and her boat at the door ready to go to Grannie and Grampa's cottage when mommy goes to the Dr. to get "baby Judah" (that's what she calls him).

Well I will do my best to post again when the baby is born. we shall see.

Thanks for reading
