I want to be like her

Serif: "Mommy, I want to be like her."

Me: "You do? What do you like about her?"

Serif: "That she's all naked except that she's wearing shoes."

Nerf

This has been Serif's go-to outfit every night when we get home, every morning when he wakes up and well . . . pretty much all weekend. He gets dressed to go out and that's about it. He even wants to sleep in it.



He also found the nerf guns we bought him for christmas. We decided to put them up for next year (2013) since we ended up with more than anticipated. We also thought he'd enjoy it more when he could cock it himself. Well, Jeff tied some twine around the trigger to create a band he could pull. He's not a bad shot. Not a bad shot at all.

so we were playing with the mega blocks in the living room when the new Hardee's fish sandwich commercial comes on. the boy stops playing and focuses on it. he kind of cracks one of those "i shouldn't be watching this" smiles and says "Daddy, do you know what i like?" i say "what?" and he point to this:

i asked for a high five but got rejected. 

Where's Serif?

Slime

I found this recipe for homemade slime the other day and decided to give it a try. Serif helped to make and has had so much fun!


You can use clear or white glue. The green was made from clear and the pink and yellow from white glue. It was so easy to make and only requires borax, water, glue and food coloring.


We're storing these in plastic containers but some people use the small jars. Here's how you do it:

Put 1tsp Borax in 1cup water. While that dissolves in its own cup, pour glue, tbsp of water and food coloring in seperate bowl and stir until color is smooth. Then add borax water to the glue mixture and stir. It will immediately separate but just squish together good then drain and kneed the excess water out. So fun and so cool!
