Some Things We Have Been Working On...

Warren and I made scented and coloured bath salts the other day. It was fun experimenting with different colours. One combination we tried was green and red. It turned a funny grey colour so we added a lot more red to make a pinkish colour. We didn't think anyone would find grey bath salts very appealing.

On Thursday Allison baked a gingerbread house. Decorating it was fun...after we held it together for a long time, hoping it wouldn't fall apart. Eventually we propped up the roof with Duplo blocks. After a few hours we took them out and the roof stayed on.


We covered the house with icing and candies. In the evening we ate it up. It was delicious. Definitely something we'd like to make every year.

This is what happens when you turn your paper over to paint the other side.

Nadia dug through a drawer to find a beater to lick. Problem is, when it comes out of the drawer it is clean - no sweet whipped cream. But she went around licking it for awhile anyway.

What have you been doing lately?

Those bath salts look like they would be fun to make!! I love how Nadia is licking clean beaters!! LOL I must admit - when they have stuff on them - they sure make for some yummy sweetness!!

That ginger bread house looks really yummy! And...good job on the bath salts. They look very nice.

The paint on the table is funny. I think everyone of us have done that (flipped a still wet painted picture over to paint the other side) at least once during our life time. :-)
