Oatmeal

We did not get to Oatmeal on our O day- but we didn't want to miss it, so we added it today.

We made Oatmeal/butterscotch cookies. I made the main dough part while Jocie and Mew danced in the living room to some silly music. They did not want to be around the mixer. But they did help stir in the oatmeal and butterscotch chips. When the cookies were done, Mew did not want to try them, but Jocie did. She loved them and ate her first one quickly and had another one later in the day!

Next we made Oatmeal playdough. Pretty easy mix, just flour, water, and oatmeal (instructions below). It was a little crumbly and probably could have used a little more water, but they liked it and had fun. Mew wanted to make a motorcycle out of his, but had some trouble figuring it out. Jocie was more than happy to step in and help him make one. It was so cute watch her making the motorcycle for him as he told her which parts he wanted her to include. I love when they work together!

Oatmeal Playdough:
1/2 cup water
1/2 cup flour
1 cup oatmeal

Mix all ingredients together well(add more flour or water to get desired feel). Knead on a floured surface for about 3-5 minutes or until it is the desired texture.
