Williams Family Vacation 2009

Slime Time

Thanks to our new friends we have had non-stop fun with homemade slime! This morning the girls invited two of their neighborhood friends over and they each made their own slime.

Yes, you heard correctly. No, it's not proper. But it sure is fun!

Thanks Kerri, Sunny and Ella. We had a great time getting to know you all :)

In case you want to have some slimy fun, here's the recipe.

Per Person:

1 1/2 cups water, separated
1 (4oz) bottle white liquid glue (like Elmer's or RoseArt)
1 tsp Borax
food coloring
wax paper or garbage bag (to dry mixture on)

In a bowl mix together entire bottle of glue and 1/2 cup water. Add food coloring to get desired color. Set aside. In another bowl mix together 1 cup water and 1 tsp borax. Slowly pour glue mixture into the bowl with the water and borax, stirring continuously. A gel will begin to form. Pick up the slimy mixture and gently squeeze out excess water. Lay the glob on a piece of wax paper or garbage bag to dry. Let dry approx 2 minutes. Flip mixture and dry other side for same amount of time. After about 5 minutes you should have a nice hunk of slime to play with! Enjoy! :)

PS. When you're done playing simply place glob in a Ziploc bag and place in the fridge until next time. Or throw it away and make it fresh next time. Cause making it is half the fun!

Should it go....or should it stay?

*Update* Thanks for your comments. And for understanding my posts might be far and few between! :)

Blogging is fun. But I'm busy.

As much as I enjoy it, I fell a lot of anxiety over it sometimes. It's just another thing to keep up with. In August I enter my last pre-nursing semester (Lord willing) and I'm not sure I can afford the time it takes to keep it rolling...

So the question is:

Should it go? Or should it stay?

You will decide. The comments (if there are any) for or against it will be my decision...

Blessings!

Vacation!!!

Ok. Shame on me for leaving that last post up so long! Poor Hubsy. See what he has to put up with?!

Anyway, we are leaving at 2 am Friday morning for FLORIDA! A woo hoo!!! We are going with Mike's parents, brother B and his precious wifey, sister K and her friend... we have never done a "family" vacation like this before. It's usually just the 4 of us. We are really excited and looking forward to a week of fun! Just gotta say we are gonna miss brother T and his super awesome Mrs. and the little man, but Lord willing we can make this a yearly trip and next year we'll all be there!

So, until we get back and I blast you with endless pictures....this is Mrs. Williams signing off!

Oh, and HAPPY 4th!! :)
