Who doesn’t love the smell of Play-doh?  Whether we’re crafting masks in order to keep our identity secret, or fake noses, in which to torture little boys through laughter, we have a grand time with Play-doh.  Although, I have to admit, since we installed our new carpet, I’m paranoid that bits of colored Play-doh will end up where we wish not to see it.

The boys will sit and play with Play-doh forever.  They have to touch each color and Joel is bound and determined not to mix the colors up.  They taste it over and over again and each time, come to the conclusion that it really isn’t that tasty.  If they happen to have their drinks with straws nearby, we will find Play-doh in their straws.   Nicholas ends up with more Play-doh in his chair than on his tray and Dexter clamors over and over again for “Ball! Ball!  Make me millions of balls!” (which he will promptly squash, and insist you remake)

Here you see super-hero NIC NAC keeping his identity a secret.

Low and behold, there is Super Dad looking a bit grumpy that we’ve caught him in the act of entertaining.

Yes, that is me, torturing Nicholas.  He was just tickled pink when I reshaped my nose and then tried to attack him with it.

It really is the little things that put huge smiles on their faces.
