Pudding Painting!


It is getting closer to the begining of school and I am running out of ideas to keep the boys entertained until school starts. So, I decided to let them paint with themselves with pudding and they had a blast. At first they were cautious and not sure if they could really get messy. I kept telling them that it was ok and to get messy and have fun. Once they got going there was no stopping them. They wound up having a pudding fight and throwing at each other. As you can tell from the picture our driveway looked like a landmine had gone off. Needless, to say pudding painting was a hit and now they keep asking if they can do it evveryday. I think all of us are ready for school. I am ready for a routine, and as much as they boys love playing together they are also starting to get on each others nevers a bit. They are getting bored with me and the same old stuff we do everyday as well.
So, I thought that if your kids are bored too try pudding painting, they will love it. Jake thought that it would be fun if he could take a bath in pudding, wouldn't we all love that. They probably ate as much pudding as they painted and threw around.

Other than just geting ready for school we haven't been up to much. Jake has another appointment to check his platelets on Mon. his first day of school (Aug.25th) and we are hoping that they are above 100,000 not only because that would be improvement but because he is getting tested for his allergies on Aug. 26th and in order to go ahead and do the appointment his platelets have to be above 100,000 since he will be getting poked and what not. He will absolutley hate it and I don't like having him get more pokes than he needs but this way we will finally be able to best address his allergies that are horrible. It makes me feel bad that his allergies aren't already taken care of. So, hopefully with his allergy appointment we will have his allergies under control and he won't have to suffer anymore. Along with that appointment he will probably be receving a new Ben 10 Omnitrix as a gift for going through all the pokes. Poor baby!

So, that is all for now. I will write another entry once we have Jake's counts and his allergy appointment is done.

I think pudding painting is more of an indoor game. You know, when it's cold and snowy and you can't go outside. Nothings better than pudding painting or a good ol food fight. Kids get pretty bored in the winter. Or you could hook up the sprinkler inside and after they pudding paint they could run through the sprinkler. I just can't wait until I can babysit them again. tee hee
