You And Me, We're A Family: Somewhere, there was a Rainbow Day!

I had a lot of good stuff happen this week. On Monday, it was President's Day so I got to spend a lot of time with the Hubby. It was really fun! We went to the BYU Art Museum and saw some really pretty Japanese Deco art pieces, we also saw and exhibit on origami and how it's being used in technology today. Really neat stuff. Hubby and I went to high school with one of the people being featured and the exhibit. So, we were pretty proud of that.

The rest of the week was pretty ho-hum and not much really happened. I tackled our never ending pile of dishes almost everyday. How I wish we could have a dishwasher. Such a luxury would be so much nicer than washing every little thing by hand every day. *Sigh* But, the weather has been warm enough this week that Baby X and I have gone outside and played for a couple hours basically once a day all week long. It's been nice, I get a chance to socialize with some of the other moms who are out there at that time and it feels good to talk to adults that aren't just my Hubby. I love talking to my Hubby, but he doesn't talk about girly things well, I don't blame him. After all, he is a dude, so, he is allowed.

Yesterday, I had went to a Women's Conference and I learned some new stuff about practical food storage and basic meal plans that help rotate your food storage. It was really neat! Like: don't store your cans by what is in the can, you can keep track of what you'll actually use if you store it by meal. So in a basket you can have all the things you'll need (can wise) for Chili: Beans, chicken, cream of mushroom, etc. Apparently that is a trick also used in a lot of restaurant kitchens as well! Who knew? I also got to listen to a women's great insight on raising a family in the gospel and how to help children have good habits towards the basic principles of the gospel. One of the things I liked is she said that the goal we should have as a family on Sunday afternoons is to go to a church building, specifically a temple if possible. I really thought that that was a good idea, and since we live right by a temple it's a worthy activity for our Sundays.

After I came home from that, Hubby and I had the wonderful chance to go to the temple. Baby X was baby sat by his Aunt and we went to the temple by her house because we had yet to visit it for other than a wedding. It was really pretty and we always feel good when we are done with our visit to the temple. It was fantastic :)

Ok, I know you're wondering what any of this has to do with the title? Well, since nothing really happened this week, I wanted to tell you about the Rainbow Day that Baby X and I had a while ago!

I made spaghetti and dyed it different colors in cold water with food coloring to help it cool and change colors at the same time!

I also made edible paint out of cornstarch, hot water and food coloring. At first Baby X didn't know what to do, but then I made him put his hand in things and then the fun began!
