Scratch and Sniff

No, it's not Aidan's diaper:) Although once all the colors meld together it is a rather disgusting color..
It's playdough! Kool-aid play-dough to be exact. The house smells yummy..and since I realized exactly how much sugar goes into a gallon of the colorful drink, playdough is the only form of the stuff that usually enters our doors. This is a recipe that though we've made dozens of times, it's still a favorite.

Kool-Aid Playdough
Ingredients:
  1. 1 1/4 cup flour
  2. 1/4 cup salt
  3. 1 pkg unsweetened Kool-aid (just the dry koolaid, don't mix it into juice)
  4. 1 cup boiling water
  5. 1 1/2 Tbsp vegetable oil
  6. 1 tsp cream of tarter
Directions: 1. In a bowl, mix flour, salt and kool-aid. 2. Stir in water and oil 3. Knead with hands for about 5 minutes. 4. Store in ziploc bag for up to 2 months. 5. Use like playdough. 6. Smells wonderful and takes on the color of the koolaid.

Garry is MIA in these photos. He spent last night at church at a lock in. He's catching up on his sleep as he went to bed about 4am and got back up at 6. However, judging by his 3 red fingernails (he was a bit irritated), I forgot to tell him NOT to go to sleep at all at the lock-in!!!
