Homemade goo -Pinterest #4 for 2014

We tried this pin today - homemade slime - goo- goop, it is made from school glue, water, food coloring and 1/2 t borax. It mixes up really fast.

Ours was not as solid as others I read about. Maybe our glue was not as fresh as it could be.

No matter, the grandsons had a great time with this easy activity.

Gavin is almost 5 and I think this is more age appropriate for him than for 18 month Braeden, 

Getting ready for spring

I saw on Facebook that spring is just 55 days away.

I have not had much success with growing vegetables, so far, but this year I am going to try starting my plants from seeds in the house. 

This is a plate of eggshells that will be used for little starter pots. 

It's easy, just crack your egg carefully on the side of a bowl, just below the pointy end and kind of keep cracking in a circle until the end is off. Use the inside egg for whatever you are cooking. Rinse out the egg shells and let dry. 

As cold and harsh as this winter is, I don't expect any early planting outdoors will survive. So hopefully my plants will get a good start indoors and be strong and hardy when spring finally gets here.
