Fun Ways to Fill Time

Allyson is getting busier and busier every day.  With all the rain and crazy weather that we have had lately, we have had to come up with some new ways to keep her entertained inside.  

First up, making playdough.  We tried this a few months ago and Allyson didn't want to have anything to do with it.  This time, SUCCESS!

Helping measure salt.  Did you know that salt is tasty??

Watching it mix together.

Playing with Daddy!

Silly with Mommy!

 Next up, was a preschool visit.  This is in preparation for September.  Allyson spent the morning at preschool.  She was excited that they were reading about the Three Little Pigs.  Less excited that Mommy and Daddy left her and didn't get to stay.

Allyson's house of straw.  She was excited to get to do the gluing!

 Washing dishes has also become a fun thing for Allyson.  She likes that her chair or stool gets her talk enough to reach the faucets!

Washing dishes takes concentration.

Anyone have the time??

One afternoon was just one of those days.  I pulled out the cookie cookbook and let Allyson choose something new to make.  She decided on the "kitty cat cookies."

Adding the frosting on top to make the kitty cat.

Final product.  Yep, that's a stick in a cookie.  It actually was pretty handy!

Notice the clean hands.  That is due to the stick!

Face, not so clean!

So there you have it- some of the ways Allyson fills her time inside.  Know that there are almost always baked goods on the counter that she helps make.  Come stop by and we will share!!
