Snow Day Fun

What do you do when you are stuck in your house for 3 days with your 2 year old? Well, for me the third day became the day I had to get creative. When we had our blizzard last week I assumed I would be able to get out on Thursday but alas the roads were still icy and terrible. Did I mention that I love the Oklahoma Transit Authority? I was looking in my cupboard and came across a box of vanilla pudding. Ding! Finger Painting! I let G help me make the pudding, then he chose the color to dye it, and a half hour later we were set to go.

Ironically enough G doesn't like to have his hands messy so "finger" painting was out after the initial attempt. I dug through my cupboard drawers until I found a basting brush that I am pretty sure has never been used. What better way to christen this brush than some snow day fun?

It only took a few minutes before this guy realized that you can make your own race car tracks through pudding. The best part there are no limitations. If you don't like where the track was on the last lap just change where your car goes on this lap. Also, if you create a pudding obstacle you can pound right through it and create green splatter the likes that our table has never before seen!

Then what a better follow up to pudding paint than a car/accessories wash while mom makes dinner? What a great afternoon and the best part is that we got to leave the house the next morning. Woo hoo!

Now I wonder if we are ready for the repeat storm that is supposed to hit us on Wednesday. I am a little nervous but I did go stock up on pudding. :)
