Madelyn's Special Day

Being the youngest of five does not exactly give you the opportunity to have a day to yourself. Today was Madelyn's special day! It was the first time she ever got to go to the fair without all of her siblings. She was excited indeed!

She visited the animals!

She checked out some pretty big pumpkins!

She saw a few super cool scarecrows!

She played games!

She picked prizes!


She had a tasty lunch!

But most of all, she had a wonderful time!

No Mess Finger Painting

The truth is, I have never really been afraid to make a mess. In fact, we do it quite often here! This technique is just another fun way to finger paint!

Let's get started!

Lay a piece of wax paper on the table and put a piece of construction paper on top of it. Then add a few colors. Try to keep your paint towards the center so it does not ooze out the side when you start painting!

Add a second sheet of wax paper.

Now the fun begins!

Carefully remove the wax paper.

The colors all blend really well! With no mess!

This is a great way to make:

Muffin Tin Monday

I am ashamed to admit it, but I have been a slacker when it comes to Muffin Tin Monday. My kids absolutely love it! Yesterday, Madelyn asked me what day today was, when I responded Monday, she yelled "Yes! Muffin Tin Monday! WooHoo!" How could I deny that sweet little girl her Muffin Tin Meal? So here you have it!
