Boys and their mud

Sebastian found a little mud puddle at the bottom of the stairs off our deck yesterday. And as he bent down to put his hands in it all I wanted to do was grab him up and say no. But then I thought, he would have a blast if I just let him play in it...and he did!!! 

  Ohhh...Mud!!!

Let me put some sticks in it. 

Ohhhh...Sticks!!!

Back to the mud.

 How deep does this puddle go? 

And now it's time to stand in it. 

What???

Homemade Playdough

Last week I made playdough for Sebastian...I got the idea from one of my favorite blogs Little Pink Monster. I love this idea because my son still puts everything in his mouth, and I mean everything, so playdough was off limits, until now that is. I tried making it before using equal parts honey, powder milk and peanut butter. Let just say, it turned out more like a peanut butter snack then playough. I love this one because he actually doesn't eat it!!! He will take a lick here and there, which I'm completely okay with since it is non-toxic. Oh and the best part of all, it smells just like regular play dough. Sniff...I love that smell. You can get the recipe here. 

Sebastian watching me make the playdough.

Here are the colors I made. They say it will last in the fridge for 6 weeks. 

I broke out the cookie cutters.

Sebastian trying to figure it out. 

He was over it in about 3 minutes and wanted down :( 

All that work for nothing!!!

Well, not nothing, I had fun!
