Out in the Garden

Image
By

With the gorgeous weather, we have been busy, 
getting the ground ready for our square foot garden this year!
The children love to help turn the dirt!

Our gutters are all set on the fence, and we have a vinyl overlay to cover them overnight.
(We are still in the danger zone for frost.)


Today, we put in the cinder blocks.... We still have some work to do with the dirt,
but we should be able to get our plants in soon!

(We will be using the pvc pipe and plastic to create a safety barrier for our cold nights! 
Our indoor sprouts are flourishing and we can't wait to start harvesting!

What Would You Do With It? Wednesday #4, Cardboard Tubes (Toilet Paper, Paper Towel, etc)

By
Welcome to this week's edition of What Would You Do With It? Wednesday. This week's item(s) are paper tubes. You most often find them at the end of a roll of toilet paper or paper toweling. I'm having trouble hunting up the photos I was going to post for this, so when I find them, I will add them. We have made: rain sticks kaleidoscopes marble runs and we have also cut the tubes and made them into flowers or snowflakes like these.

Making Moon Mud!

By
We usually make our moon sand with cornstarch , sand, and baby oil. However a blog reader commented that when they make their moon sand- they use water instead of oil.  So, of course, my first thought was- why make moon sand when you could make MOON MUD?  And so you have it- our homemade moon mud! Basically, it ends up being a sandy- runny oobleck! It acts kind of like a solid- and kind of like a liquid..... Now, I'm sure I will get all kinds of questions on the exact recipe and proportions to make this stuff.....  The truth is, we rarely measure. We just mix it up until it looks and feels about right! Today, we made ours with too much water. (It was an experiment.) So, we removed some off the top.  After we were done playing in the mud- we let it sit. A little bit more of the water evaporated while we napped.... Then, this afternoon- It was perfect! Hard as a rock on the bottom, until you dig into grab it... Then....
