Homemade finger paints

We made homemade paint last week. It was so easy! You just take water and flour and cook it until it is thick and then add food coloring. We also added a little dish soap so it would dry glossy. Rachel loved painting. She painted all over herself after she did a few papers. She also really likes to color and draw. I caught her yesterday scribbling all over a library book with a pen. To see more pictures of her and paint and homemade play dough check out on online picture album.

So, I got my first two piano students this week! I am so happy. I have explored all options of making cash, even delivering newspapers at 4 am. Maybe I won't have to do that! Anyway, I am still crazy about food storage and cooking. This week I am making sour dough bread from a starter I made today. It just grows on your counter and you have to feed it everyday! CRAZY!

Eric is doing well. School has been really good and he gets to come home for lunch everyday, which is great since he works every night until nine. He likes his security job, but says it is boring. He works for Union Bay (the clothing company), basically he just walks around and makes sure the building is secure.

This weekend was general conference (our bi annual church meeting from Salt Lake) I was just thinking how blessed we are to have such technology as I was sitting in my sweatpants listening to the prophet. It was a great meeting and I am totally inspired to be a better person in so many ways.
