The sun finally came out on day 4 of our spring break. The boys were dying to play outside. We set up a blanket and let them have a picnic. They were rained out, but it was fun while it lasted.
I babysat some cute girls this day and we made Easter baskets out of paper plates. It was so funny to see the difference between the girls' Easter baskets and the boys. The girls were patient and took a long time with their baskets. The boys also did a great job, but it was a lot faster of a process.
They came up with some pretty great designs.
Later we did "magic milk." I got the idea from this blog. We took a tiny bit of milk. Really I just did enough to cover the bottom of the bowl. I hate wasting milk. Then we put in a drop of food coloring. The kids took turns with a tooth pick dipped in dish soap. They would stick it in the middle of the food coloring and the colors would all scatter. It was so cool!
You have to get a new toothpick every time or it doesn't work. 
Savanna was my helper with the "magic toothpicks". 
I love science! So cool. 
They loved it. I am heading to BYU women's conference today so my posts may be a little rushed :)
