Congratulations! You have been to to Ship Full O' Pirates over 100 times! Just thought you'd like to know.

We played with our lunch today.  I know, the normal song I sing at lunch goes more like, “Stop playing with your food and eat already!”  Today it was the opposite.  “Don’t eat that yet!  Play with it a little first!”

??? Confused???

We had play dough for lunch.  It’s ok, I made it outta food.  It was the best lunch time ever.  The kids all had a blast.  And they ate pretty good, and cleaned up very thoroughly.  Amazing what a little laughter at lunch does for everyone’s attitude!

I read a lot of recipes while putting together my Help for Growing Families post and ended up just winging it.  This stuff is really hard to mess up.

Here’s what I did (approx.):

• 1 jar peanut butter (we used natural, don’t know if that matters)
• 1/3 cup cocoa powder (if you are gonna have fun it may as well be chocolate)
• 1 ½ cups dry milk powder
• ’bout ½ cup honey

I used my mixer, but it seemed like it mixed pretty easily, I think you could just use a spoon.

I set out little bowls of  “decorations”:

• peanuts
• raisins
• craisins
• dried pineapple (yum)
• I would have included chocolate chips if I’d had any

We had some kinda fun.  We are all grateful for edible play dough.

Here’s your shortcut back to Gratituesday.
