25 days of Christmas!

Day 2:
So I'm wanting to do funny things with Mexi to give the boys a good laugh!!



How did I do? He thought the flour was a jar of snow! ;) I couldn't wait to see their reaction when the boys got up this morning to find Mexi! It took Christopher a little bit but here they found him!


This picture cracked me up! Christopher couldn't believe the mess he made! And Peyton just kept repeating everything Christopher said and did. Which is why Peyton is pointing! Christopher has been talking about Mexi and what he did, so I must of done well! For our day 2 of the 25 days of Christmas we made clay ornaments.


I first got the ingredients ready for the boys. Only THREE ingredients, water, baking soda and corn starch. All of which I had on hand! Yay budget friendly project!! haha can anyone tell that In this picture Peyton shirt is on backwards and he's looking at a book with planes in it! He's so interested in what we're doing!



Peyton got to pour the water while Christopher got to stir.


Once he stirred it together I transferred it into a pot and started to cook it on the stove. I had the boys mix everything together in this bowl because I didn't want Peyton to think he can prepare things over the stove. I rather be safe than sorry!


Once it's in a mash potato form I took it off to cool with a damp towel over it.


Then I knead the dough and passed it to Christopher to start his job. Do you like his picture taking skills. :)


He's a pro with a rolling pin!


I had them use cookies cutters! They both loved this part!


See!


I even got him to stay long enough to say cheese to the camera!


Christopher got so good at kneading, rolling and cutting! I was a proud mama!


And there you have it! We didn't have time to paint today, so we will finish that part tomorrow! I highly recommend this project! It's on Pintrest ladies!
Ooo and here a sneak of what Mexi did tonight.


I'll report back tomorrow with day three and the reactions to this!!
