Just popping in to say hello

[Marla]

I haven't been around much ....things have been really busy with my jobs. Now that the weather is nice...the kids want to be outside all the time.

Thought I would take two seconds to say hello to eveyone.

Hi Marla! Sounds like things are going well and you're staying busy. Don't get too busy though and forget about us! :lol:

[Marla]

Thanks Karla....how could I ever forget about your guys?!?!?! :lol:

[Diane]

Hi Marla... I know what you mean about the kids wanting to be outside all the time... that's exactly where I was most of the day. Didn't leave too much time for popping in to see what all was going on. LOL I was almost grateful when it started to rain... then they wanted play-doh. None of my play-doh was very good so we decided to make our own. That went well and then they played with it for well over an hour. It was messy... but I think it was well worth it for the amount of time they spent playing with it. :) I'm glad that their so good about sticking to one thing for more than two minutes. LOL

:wave: Diane... :wave:

I know what you mean when life gets rolling. I've been away for the weekend and am swamped trying to catch up on all the posts I've missed.

Well I am glad that you got a chance to post. Just keep dropping by when you get the chance to let us know you haven't forgotten us. Glad things are well for you.

You're welcome! Playdough is so fun - I even like to play with it! :) Mindless entertainment! LOL! Have fun!!

Playdough is always a pleasure with my dk's. We made peanut butter playdough one day! Wash hands, create and eat your creation. Lot's of fun and nutricious too!

[Marla]

Playdough is the best....you can add articial flavours (for different smells), kool aid, make peanut butter playdough, chocolate playdough, you can even add things like sparkles or rice (for textures). I love when I make it and it is still warm...it is great therapy for my hand.
