Claps and Simon

Tried to film Janna's claps, but Simon was running around and bumping me, but here you go!

Songs by Janna

Janna has been singing wonderful songs she sings at school. I have recorded a few of them.
She also picked out some "popcorn" words on a kids menu. Popcorn words are sight words. She found more the next day. She "eats" the words so she remember them. I love hearing all the new stuff she is learning.

Betti Morrison

Betti Morrison (our married-no kids housing) is being torn down. I have known several couples who have lived here. We also viewed this when visiting when we first moved here.
Here is what is looked like today and will probably be down completely by this weekend.

Slime!

Homemade Slime aka GAK


1 teaspoon borax powder
1 1/2 C water, divided
4 oz (1/2 C) Elmer’s glue, clear or white
food coloring
Add borax powder to 1 cup of water and stir to dissolve. Set aside. Pour glue into a medium mixing bowl and add 1/2 C water. Add a few drops of food coloring until desired color is reached and then stir to mix glue solution until smooth. Pour the borax mixture into the glue mixture and watch the solids start to form. Stir for a few moments and then use your hands to gather the mass. The mixture will be very soft and wet. Keep kneading until it firms up and feels dry. Discard excess liquid in bowl. The more you knead and play with the slime the firmer it will become. Store in a ziplock bag or air tight container and the slime will keep indefinitely.
