Just Add Water

I kind of have a love/hate relationship with Pinterest, as I'm sure many do. I kind of go in phases where I am on there a lot, feeling like a mix of Paula Deen, Martha Stewart, and Gillian Michaels -if that is even possible- and then I go for weeks where I don't even look at it because I try to make a cake that turns out like a big blob of mush, or I try a craft with the hooligans and we just end up with WWIII.

I figured, really though, what could possibly go wrong with this one? I mean I had everything I needed to make these colored ice cubes (to play with in the bathtub) and these kids are always dirty anyway. What's to lose?

As you can tell from the expressions on their faces (well Merrick and Tirzah's faces...Jericho is getting his top teeth I think and a third bottom one for sure, and couldn't care less about water and ice cubes and that camera-crazy mommy in his face) it was a success. Green bath water never hurt anyone I'm sure, since usually their bathwater is other, less attractive colors that we won't get into. They played/chased the ice cubes until they melted, and then got a good scrubbing. Win win. This is one Pinterest-inspired idea we will probably do again. Not like the many recipes I've tried (bless Pinterest's heart, it's not you it's me...I cannot cook straight) that somehow never turn out looking like the darn picture.
