All the recipes said once I made homemade playdough I would never go back. So the kids and I mixed and stirred and kneaded and kneaded some more. We made a wonderful yellow, a pretty green and a horrible shade of olive green. It was lovely. It felt nice. It held it's shape well and it smelled nice(ish). Then we let it sit overnight.The next day was one of "those days". Everything was going wrong. There were tears of frustration, time outs, battles over schoolwork and grumpy babies. It was not a pleasant house. We finally got through the schoolwork and I got Sam to bed. Ethan and Libby wanted to play with the playdough, so we got it out. It was disgusting. It was wet and slimy and stuck all over the kitchen table and my rolling pin. We kneaded some more flour and it got much better. We neglected to put the flour away, though.
It was a very long day.

Ugh, slimy homemade playdough? Sorry it didn't last well... I have yet to venture into that realm, but it just seems kind of unapproachable, you know? LOL... sad. But I hope the last day and a half have been going better for you! I love that picture of Gracie! :)
