Well February has come and gone. Boy was it busy!  I decided I would be an awesome sister and watch my nieces and nephews for the February break.  Little did I know what I was getting myself into.

                       8 kids and 6 dogs!!! 

     I wish I had a picture to show you all my craziness.  I know there is one out there I just don't have it.

     So what do I do with 8 kids ranging from age 1 - 14?  Pinterest here I come!!!  We made Cloud Dough, Flubber and Snow Paint.

     Lets start with the Cloud Dough.  Pinterest sent me to Jugglingwithkids.com such a good website if you need to entertain kids!

     In our house hold we called it moon sand and everyone loved it.  The kids asked to play with it almost everyday. It kept them busy for hours which was a nice break.  It is messy though we had it all over the kitchen!  The kids were covered, the floor was covered, and the dogs ate it up so they were covered!
   
     All in all I would make it again.

Now on to the Flubber from http://frugalfunchallenge.blogspot.com/

     This is such a neat experiment!  It literally mixes its self.  For the boys they loved the gooey gunk.  I made the mistake of coloring it blue so everyone who touched it turned into a smurf.  The kids LOVED to turn into smurfs.

    This was a good project for the 6-9 year olds.  It kept them quiet for at least 10 mins. (when you have 8 kids running around 10 minutes is bliss)

      And finally Snow Paint by abirdandabean.com 
Now this was the best middle of winter ``go outside and play`` activity.  All of them loved making the snow coloured everytime they went out side I had to fill the bottles at least 3 times.  I wish I had this when I was little I am pretty sure I would have LOVED it.

     So all I can say is Thank You Pinterest!!  It filled our days with alot of entertaining fun activities!!

     And Thank You siblings for leaving the country and trusting me with your children. I got to bond with 7 out of 10 nieces and nephews over a span of a week.  I would do it all over again and Pinterest will be there helping me with more fun activities.
