As any stay-at-home mom knows, the key to maintaining your sanity is having plenty of planned activities to occupy the kids. On most days, it is easier to go out and hit the town for some ready-made fun, but sometimes it's nice to hang out at home too. For those days, I try to have a couple activities in mind because trouble lurks in the shadows of the idle child. Last Thursday, I wanted to take the kids outside, but to keep their minds off the heat, I had to pull out some new activities. One was this sidewalk paint which (if I'm remembering correctly) is just equal parts cornstarch and water with a little food coloring. William and Lily were both fans.

Of course, William can't do anything without it somehow eventually including choo-choo trains.
The second activity was this balloon pinata game. Perfect for a hot summer day.
