Putting Pinterest DIY To The Test.

Just on a side note before I get started on my Pinterest DIY, I forgot to post all about this years 4th of July! Now that the state of Utah legalized what are known as " Cake " fireworks, my dad was thrilled.  He bought a few and almost the whole neighborhood bought a few! Ty sure loved to watch them,when they were going off down the street. He was constantly wow, woah! Looking all around when he caught a glimpse of them. Now, when they were above his head, that was a little different for him! He didnt cry or anything. But it was just loud, and right above him. So he was just fine coming in the house and watching a movie. Although, I will say his favorite fireworks were the Pop its. Ty is a pro! He knows when he throws them and they don't pop he needs to run over and step on it! Its so funny to watch! He knows what they are at the store and right when you pull them outta the box. His least favorite fireworks were the ground bloom flowers and the high pitch scream ones. He ran for cover with those going off. 

On to Pinterest! 

Well I, like most women out there, love pinterest! Love all the ideas that you can pull off and do yourself. So between Christmas shopping and surfer the news, I was also finding fun things to do on pinterest. I have always wondered with the DIY crafts if they are actually easy and the results are the same. Sometimes the cutest things on there never seem to turn out like the picture of someone else s.  

There has been one thing I have been wanting to try and that was making worms. Yes, worms. They are delicious if you like Jello and whip cream.  On pinterest they had make your own worms. You use Jello, whip cream and a little bit of food coloring. After mixing all those ingredients you pour the jello into plastic straws and let them set up. My results turned out okay! Haha! They looked just like worms! Not to mention they were wiggly and a little slimy looking.  Heres my picture!!

yummy!!

Another fun idea I came across, was for Ty. It was something that he could do and the mess didn't matter.  

On a blog, a woman did this for her 7 month old, she took cool whip and food coloring and made paint. Ty could eat it and paint it all over himself. It was quite fun to watch him touch and taste the cool whip for the first time. He was able to make a care free mess. This idea or DIY turned out to be so fun for him! And when we washed him off he was dye free and mess free. 

Ta Da! Our Finished result. I think he had fun,don't you?

Ty sure is growin. Length wise! Doc told me he was in the in 33% for his weight and 75% for his height! Go figure, hes just like his daddy! On a bigger growing up experience, he will also be a big brother to a little brother in Dec.! He doesn't quite understand the baby idea, but that's okay. I am sure once the new man is here they will be best buds from the get go.

We are just living and loving life. Even with the beds aren't made because we are to busy playing hide and seek. Even when we are wearing our last pair of clean underwear because we are to busy reading and napping, to wash and fold clothes. Even when we are hand washing one sippy cup because cuddling on the couch during movie time is more memorable than doing the dirty dishes in the sink.  Besides there will always be dishes in the sink and clothes that need washing, but my kid is only small for so long. Then when the next one comes things will be the same! A life full of love and dirty dishes. Ha.
