Always a great way to start out the day…
I’ve been very inspired lately by paint and canvas. I have 3 canvases drying. Wow! That has never happened. Can’t wait to show them…

Ok, in the grand scheme of things…this wasn’t that messy at all. Little J spotted this recipe for homemade flubber on Pinterest.
I was careful to use glass bowls and disposable plastic spoons to begin with.
After pouring off the excess water…it was time to dig in with my hands…at least I remembered to take off my wedding ring. 😉
Little J thought it looked like I was having way too much fun with her flubber so she traded off the camera to me.
We made the flubber a pale lavender color that doesn’t show terribly well in the photos.
Finally it was time to play. The flubber is more viscus than silly putty and a little wetter feeling. It’s a solid that behaves as a liquid. Some cool science going on there.Of course, I had to show the kids that when stuck in a jar with any air gap, pushing on it makes the most satisfying “toot” noise. You know…passing gas…breaking wind. I’ve always used the word “toot” instead of the version of that word that starts with and f and ends with a t. I hate that word….not sure why but it just irks me…even more so when I hear young kids saying it. There, now you’ve just learned another quirk of Halle…you’re welcome.

T stands for Tuesday…you know what that means…I’m linking up at Elizabeth’s blog for our weekly virtual tea party.
I’ve got my snack…how about you?
Just look at the size of that Mammoth muffin from Perkins. No affiliation…my kids just love the place. We went out with my mom and I skipped the toast and brought home a little bit of sin. Now that my muffin is out of my mug I can enjoy a bit of coffee with my sin.Last week for T Tuesday…on Wednesday I mentioned I would be sharing some news. I finally got an interview for a position I applied for about 7 weeks ago. Sadly, I didn’t get the job. Not the news I was hoping to share but I guess it wasn’t the right place for me right now. That’s ok…I’m still subbing and this way I have a lot more flexibity.
Over the weekend I started cleaning up my crazy workspace…only to get sucked into art journaling. I saw that nice empty space and there is just some sick need of mine to immediately fill it with something. I got called away from creating and cleaning for that matter when it was decided that it was time to do some rearranging of the house.I
executed some fishgave our fish a whirlpool ride…then took down the aquarium. It was sitting on a desk that would be much better served as a homework station than supporter of several hundred pounds of water.
In its place we put a much smaller antique desk that holds misc game supplies such as cards, dice, paper and pens. Since this is in our game area we decided to group some vintage toys and games to fit with the theme. The mason jar is filled with random bits and pieces from old games.The other desk went into Little J’s room…where the antique one had resided previously. But we still were not done with organizing…
Little Js room has this very awkward space that is about 4ft off the floor. The space has always been a collector of crapjunktreasures. While measuring for the desk we realized that one of these 9 hole cubbies would fit perfectly in the opening. We left the back off the bottom three squares since there is still a good 2.5ft behind it…just in case stuff fell behind, we’d be able to retrieve it. Look…someone has her own clubhouse now…I’m not entirely sure what my plans for the day are but I do know I’ll be checking out the other T stands for Tuesday posts. 🙂
What are you doing today?
