We are anxiously anticipating our 2nd Annual Birthday Bash for all the girls.  We borrowed the idea last year from the Jeub Family after watching their "Cheaper By the Dozen" episode on TLC.  We now have one birthday party for all the girls instead of seperate parties throughout the year.  Birthday parties can become more of a production the more we all try to keep up with the Jones'.  This solution seemed to answer all the problems.  But, more will be coming on the actual party, which is on Saturday.

Last night, the girls and I made our very first batch of GOOP.  If you've never been exposed to this phenomenon, it is pretty amazing.  The recipe includes white glue, distilled water, food coloring and borax.  Yep, that's it - simple isn't?

In one bowl combine 2 cups distilled water, 2 cups white glue and 15 - 30 drops of food coloring.  In another bowl combine 4 cups distilled water, 1 TBSP Borax and stir both bowls well.  After they are stirred, combine both bowls and watch what happens.

It turns into a goopy, gooey, fun piece of play-doh like, something or other to play with.  You can stretch it, mold it, fold it, toss it against a wall, pretend to sneeze it out of your nose, or turn it into breathe right strips.

That's what Works for Me this week!  Check out more great tips at Rocks in my Dryer.
