Day #4 Of Sanity

 

 

I am officially insane for posting a blog at 1:07 AM.

 

Ian started out night off roasting marshmallows for our "smore experience".

He was the perfect marshmallow roaster.

We completed our night with Salt Dough Ornaments.

Ingredients:

-4 cups of All Purpose Flour

-1 cup salt

-1 1/2 Cups of Water

 

Mix the dry ingredients(Salt & Flour) well.

 

Gradually pour water into the flour & salt mixture while mixing with a spoon.

Finish kneading with your hands.

 

Roll the dough out to about 1/8th inch thick, and apply the cookie cutters to shape your ornaments. :)

This is the fun part.

 

 

Let the kids have at it!

 

One thing I cannot stand are false oven directions! I was informed to set the oven to 325 degrees, and let the ornaments cook for an hour. My first batch came out puffy, and some even had a burnt look. Thank goodness I had a second batch! I left the oven settings at 325, and let them cook inbetween 15 & 20 minutes, and they came out perfect.

 

 

 For tomorrow's sanity we shall paint the ornaments outside. :)
