Pudding Paint!

Every time I sit down to work on a craft activity for me, Ethan is trying to climb in my lap and help.  So, I decided that we should figure out a way for him to do his own craft!  I knew finger paint would go straight in his mouth, so we improvised!  Pudding Paint! We made vanilla pudding, divided it into a couple bowls, then added food coloring  to each bowl for a different color "paint."  

He had a blast painting until.....

he discovered how great it tasted!  

Then more ended up in and around the mouth than on the paper!  

 

My little Picasso!

Happy Birthday Chris!!

Chris turned 31 this past Sunday!  

I think Ethan may have enjoyed the birthday cake most of all!

We celebrated by going out to Clark's Fish Camp Saturday night.  It is a very interesting place...and lots of fun.  When you enter the restaurant, stuffed dead animals surround you.  Literally!  They had lions, giraffs, zebras, a bear, otter, baboon, elk, deer, birds, alligators, and so many more I can't remember.   During dinner you can eat outside on the dock where alligators and turtles swim under you waiting for scraps.  (Can you believe I waited over an hour to eat here?!?! ) 

Featured on the menu are mouth-watering entrees such as kangaroo, alligator, ostrich, antelope, rattlesnake, frog legs, and turtle.   Chris decided to try fried alligator tail for an appetizer.  He seemed to like it.  I lost my chance at the mother of the year award though-- I let poor Ethan eat it before I would!  He absolutely couldn't get enough, so after I ate my required "I tried it" bite, I let him have as much as he wanted. Then I ordered a safe shrimp dish for my dinner.  

Happy 31st Birthday, dear! We love you!
