Rainbow Rice.

Nothing is more fun than a huge amount of rice to play in, right? Plus you add some pretty colors to it and, Voila, you have hours of fun.

Isn't it pretty looking?

We bought a HUGE rather large bag of rice from Sams Club, I may or may not have some left over (anyone wanting to come pick up the rest is welcome to make some rainbow rice of their own). Followed the directions for making it beautiful, let it dry on the deck (it dried very, very quick) and had over three hours of play time. The hope is to a have just another fun indoor activity.

On this particular day though, we completely lucked out and spent the entire morning basking in the warm November sun. It was perfect, we enjoyed the weather, the new rice and had such little clean up. Like I said, Perfect! My deck is still covered in the colors of the rainbow, lucky for me though, it's all outside!

Holding Titan back from attacking it while I snapped a pretty picture of it all.

1, 2, 3....Go!

Titan felt the need to taste a little bit, but it only took one bite for him to realize it was not something he wanted to eat. Lesson learned.

Again, a hair cut is coming.... Sometime soon. I have no idea what to do with it. They always look so different and grown-up after their first hair cut. Hate to lose my crazy-haired baby.

The fun part about the rice is that we are able to play with ninja turtles, doll house people, animals, all the things that we can't put into the cloud dough because they will get ruined.

Check it out, all mixed up.

Titan went off to explore. He loves shoes and excitedly tried on Myla's rain boots and then stomped around the deck.

The boy looks good in pink.

After a wonderful lunch on the deck they felt the need to all climb into the rice. Quinton is still finishing up his lunch. We did go through 3 (YES 3) big bags of Cutie Oranges in one week. They all eat them like they are candy.

I love the look on Myla's face in this picture.

And then it was Titan's turn to climb in...

And naturally they felt the need to dump rice on his head. It's a good thing that Titan's a great sport.

We enjoyed the beautiful outdoor fall day and our new rice box. These kids are too much fun! I love being their momma!
