Sfarkle Play Dough!!!

Friday, April 3rd, 2009

SOOOO FUN!

Mix together in a glass bowl:
1 cup flour
1/2 cup salt
2 tsp cream of tartar
1 Tbsp veg oil
1 cup water
food coloring to your liking (blue is Scarlet’s fave)

Mix it up real good. It looks soupy, but don’t worry.
This is the part for the adults:
Next put it in the microwave for 2 minutes. Take it out
and stir stir stir. Put it back in for two more minutes.
Take it out and stir stir stir again. If it isn’t quite set up
you can put it in for one more minute. Remove from bowl
(Be careful it will be hot!) and place on parchment paper.
Let it cool. When cool add LOTS of sfarkles (glitter).

This is Scarlet with her friend Henry.  He is an owl and he sits on her finger and talks to her.  He also likes to fly around and he likes to crunch on owl food.

Almost Three!

Saturday, March 7th, 2009

I can’ beleive Scarlet is almost 3!  She is growing up so fast and definitely has her own opinions on things.  Here’s the low down:

Favorite Color? Peacock Blue

Favorite Art supply? Paint! (though Markers and play dough are up there too)

Favorite Song? E eats everthing by Be Giants

Pancakes? They taste Bleeech!

Chocolate Milk? MMMmmmmmmmm

Favorite book? Impossible to decide–she loves too many.

Favorite movie? Changes constantly–the phase where she wanted to watch the same one over and over didn’t last long!

The Best shoes? Her Sfarkle Pink Princess Dorothy shoes

Dreams/Aspirations? Get Sfrayed by the fireman hose and feed the birds that land on her finger and sing to her.

Favorite places? The Library, The Carouself, The children’s Museum, The zoo, The Park, and the Back yard.

Favorite thing to do? Pretend!  Playing dress up, Pretend cooking, and the big one right now: Role playing!  Today (for now!) she is a fairy baby and I am the fairy mommy.  Other days we might be:

S: Pocohontas,  Mom: Cocoum, Dad: John Smith (in this one we just do everyday things, but our names are different),

S: Odette and M or D: Ivan (We are Dancers in Barbie’s swan lake),

S:Baby Michael and M or D: Peter Pan (usually when we are playing on the swing in the backyard–she sings over and over: I can fly, I can fly, I can fly!),

S:Wendy and M: Mermaid (in this scenario we get in a fight and I pretend to pull her dress and her hair, then we make up and we become friends),

S: Fievel, M: Nelly Bree, D: Mr. Daily (In this one Fievel draws pictures of Mr. Daily),

S: B.G. M: George (When we play this one, I have to try to take the toy she’s playing with and she gives it up to me because I’m the baby.  Then I tell her thank you for sharing and we play together.)

Andrew asked her what she does the other day and she said:  “I play and I RUN AROUND!”  That pretty much sums it up.

Snow, snow and more snow.
