Water Bottle Dolls

 The girls were finishing off their Gatorade when Leilani thought her bottle would make a great doll.

The girls found some old t-shirts and cut them up to make clothes for the dolls.


 They used the hot glue gun to attach the clothes to the bottle.
  

Leilani scrunched up some fabric and glued it along the bottom to make it look like a tutu.


Then faces were added with markers and, in some cases, bows were added to the top of their heads.

Frozen Silly Putty

Cousin Darla showed the girls how to make Frozen Silly Putty.


They mixed one bottle of clear glue with the same amount of water then added blue food coloring and glitter.


Then dissolved 1/2 teaspoon Borax in 1 cup hot water before adding it to the clear glue mixture.


It quickly thickened up and shaped up into a ball.


 The girls loved it so much they made several more batches in various colors.


Ice Cream Cake

We wanted to make an ice cream cake for Auntie Kimmi's birthday. The was our first one so we learned a few things to do better for the next time but this one was still fun and tasted great.


Stacking ice cream sandwiches 3 on each level 4 levels high then covered it with Cool Whip. Next we chopped up a couple candy bars and sprinkled then finished it off with chocolate syrup.


We left it in the freezer overnight, the hard part was waiting 15 minutes before cutting in. It started to fall apart when cutting so next time we'll use something to hold the layers together like chocolate syrup and maybe not stack the layers so high. Everyone loved it!
