Today Samantha was going to make a salt dough map of Egypt. She got all the supplies out (bowls, mixing spoons, flour, salt, map) and then informed me we didn't have food coloring. So off to Food Lion (which is becoming BLOOM in a couple days) and we get some food coloring.
How did I spend $15.00 on food coloring???
Oh right...the vanilla ice cream to go with the apple crisp that Samantha had made. The chocolate for me. The special coffee creamer for Roy as a surprise.
Okay. Back to salt dough. :)
So she mixes it up, asks me to lend a hand to the mixing in of the color. I'm thinking...this seems so runny...but whatever. I go through the instructions with her. Everything done.
So I explain the map part. She does that. Then gets my help in putting the dough into the right spots. IT's so .... runny....doesn't stay put. I figure well, you just put the other color in and it all kind of holds together....
But then they start blending and it won't stay put. Hmm...
So, Sam finishes up with putting in the Nile River. Had fun.
She cleans everything up.
Comes and informs me that she did 1 cup of flour instead of 6.
LOL
We'll try again tomorrow.
