A Slimy Evening ...

February 25, 2017

After our delicious Greek dinner ... we headed back to the house with all the craft supplies ...

Ella really wanted to make homemade slim ... yuk ... !!!

Nathan and Alana ... helped out with this craft ...

A generous amount of pink and blue Elmer's Glue with sparkles ... was poured into a tubs ... 

Then a small amount of Borax was dissolved in a cup of water ...

 small amounts of the water was mixed in with the glue ...

 mixing it until it started to smooth gel ... it sure was sticky ...

 The kids mixed up some other colours of slim ... 

using  food colouring and mixing in sparkles ... they continued to knead and stretch the slim ...

 Craig was busy ... in his room ... working on his R/C truck ... 

He could here all of us out in the kitchen laughing and making weird sounds with 

handling the slim ...

Grandpa and Nathan checked in on Craig ... to see how things were going ...

Alana was having a fun time ... playing with the slim ...

she found some straws and started to blow into the slim blob ...

The kids were laughing so hard ... they wanted to try it ... 

Craig even came out of his room ... to see what all the commotion was about ...

James had blown the largest bubble ... it was massive ... !!!

They were having so much fun ...

The table was cleared of all the slim ingredients ... for Nathan to work on his (old) R/C car ...

He has had that car for years ... and since the boys were working on theirs ... 

he wanted to get his car up and running ...

It wasn't long before Nathan's car was working ... "it lives again" ...

the guys decided to go outside and race ...

It was getting late and dark out ... but that didn't matter ... the race was on ...

Nathan was surprised at how well his old car drove ...

against Craig's new R/C truck ...

While the guys were working and playing ...

Alana and Ella sat on the couch ... (with "Holly" the cat nearby) ... 

colouring in their Zen Colouring books ...

together ... sharing all the colouring pencils ...

I think Holly was feeling left out ... and decided to join them ... 

right in the middle of the pencil packages ...

Alana was playing with her ... and Ella laughing as Holly was clawing at the pencil ...

It defiantly was a full day of activities ... 

It was nice to spend the weekend with them ...

before we left for our holidays ... to Arizona and Houston ...
