Parents choose wisely

I am not one who thinks bumper stickers or decals are funny, but today I saw one that was so “unintentional” it made me laugh.

Companies make decals for kids involved in sports. They put a picture of the sport, sometimes an initial of the school and the child’s name who participates in the sport. Then loving parents put them on their vehicles. That’s all well and good. UNLESS the initial of the school is an “F” and the child’s name is “Destiny”. So today I got to read a decal that basically said: “F Destiny”. Priceless.

So parents, when choosing your child’s name…choose wisely. BTW…the picture of the basketball on the decal was a lovely touch.

Sidewalk Chalk Painting

Need an easy thing to do with the kids? Don’t want to go out to get “craft supplies”? Then this projects for you! Sidewalk chalk paint is an easy thing to make with supplies you probably already have on hand.

Sidewalk chalk recipe:

¼ cup cornstarch

¼ cup water

Food coloring

Old paint brushes

Directions: Mix first 3 ingredients. Use brushes.

See? Easy. How much food coloring depends on you. We only used 6 drops per color and for the orange and purple mixed according to directions on food coloring box.

The paint goes on watery but dries just like regular chalk. Provides at least an hour (more if you double the recipe) of fun. And perhaps your child(ren) will declare the day “THE BEST EVER!!” too. Enjoy!!
