We {Maren & I} are not feeling well this Sunday {thanks to Daddy & Hazel}, the girls were getting a bit restless and I wanted to take a nap, so I had to come up with something for them to do. How about soap carving, they thought I was a genius, only because they had never done it before. They had a lot of fun and then wanted to use their creations in the bath. {the kitchen table doesn't smell so bad either}
Actually the whole kitchen smells lovely,
and they had so much good clean fun.{ha ha}
