FUNday Friday!

I have officially declared every Friday from now until the snow melts 'FUNday Fridays!' We usually leave for camp bright and early every Friday morning, but since the season is winding down I decided I needed to do something to make our LoNg weekends exciting! So today was my trial day for FUNday #1! Since I hadn't really thought this out in my head (until 7am this morning) I had to just go with what I had available in our house! Thanks to hoarding a lot of crap really good stuff, a recipe book, pinterest and a fun mama on IG I had all the ideas & supplies I needed! 
 
FUNday activity #1: Play-Doh
I know what you are thinking, play-doh isn't that exciting, but for these two it is because it doesn't happen that often. Between the clean up and the amount that goes into the baby's mouth, I usually pretend that we are fresh out of play-doh. Today, we went all in. I gave them the entire bucket of play dough and toys and they played and played for over an hour. Yes, they was a HUGE mess. Yes, the baby ate way more play-doh than she ever should. Yes, they had FUN! I should have taken a picture at the END of the hour, these were taken in the first 5 minutes!

 

FUNday Activity #2: Fun Food!

 

Piggy sandwiches for lunch! I picked up a $5 recipe book at Kohl's this summer full of fun kid friendly recipes! Today I was able to find enough "stuff" to make the piggy sandwiches. Martino loved it way more than I would have even thought! I wish I could have taken a picture of his face when he opened his eyes for the surprise lunch! He devoured the entire sandwich! {Potato roll, cheese, turkey bologna, mayonnaise, apple mouth, raisin eyes-- missing black olives cut for hooves} 

 

 

 

FUNday Activity #3: Colorful Spaghetti

I saw this idea on the Glitter and Girl  blog and thought it looked liked fun! It was super simple to make and you only need spaghetti and food coloring. I only had thin spaghetti on hand (regular may have worked better) and three colors of food dye, but the little's didn't mind! :) To make the noodles I boiled them, drained them and then laid them on top of a towel on a cookie sheet to dry out for 2 hours. Then I separated them into 3 bowls and added 10ish drops of food coloring and a tablespoon of water to get the color to mix well.

Running to see the FUN surprise!

Not quite sure...

Hmmmmmm....what shall I do?!?

We definitely had a FUN Friday! I hope we have many more this fall & winter!

Thanks for stopping by!
