Snow Cones and Sidewalk Paint






This week we've been struggling with getting Ethan to eat and drink and we've also exhausted most of our "quiet" activities. So what's a Mom to do? Go shopping of course! I love Target - you can find just about anything there:) I'm there often enough that I'm on a first name basis with the woman at the snack counter (can't go shopping without diet coke). So, off to Target we went in attempts to find anything that might tempt Ethan to eat/drink and activities to keep him entertained but quiet. This is how we ended up with a snow cone maker (and every flavor of syrup Target carries). Both of the kids like the process of making the snow cones, but only Abby actually eats the snow cones. Maybe once Ethan feels better he'll be just as excited about the snow cones as his sister.


As for activities, sidewalk paint seemed like a good idea. They loved it, although it kind of became "all over body paint" as you can see by the pictures. It did keep them both busy for about 2 hours - and we probably would have headed out to paint again today if it hadn't been pouring down rain.
