Luke and Jonathan
Judy and I have been trading watching each other's boys once a week. It's been great fun for us to have Jonathan over and a nice break to have a quiet house to get some things done (like a nice long shower).
Last week I made a couple pans of colored rice and added a pile of frozen peas and let the boys play in it with their little trucks. It kept them entertained for quite a while.
I think my favorite thing is to listen to their conversations and squables. Today I overheard this conversation while they were watching the landscapers clean up the leaves in our back yard:
Luke: Where did all those leaves come from?
JP: They came from the leaf blower. That's why they call it a leaf blower.

Perhaps I am a moron...it seems that it should be so easy - perhaps you are a GENIUS!. But please do share how you made your colored rice, would you? I think Ana and Simon would both enjoy it.

Lisa, it's sooooo easy. I let Luke pick out food coloring and drop it into the pan of rice and water before cooking it. Luke just learned how to make orange at preschool by mixing red and yellow fingerpaint, so he tried to make orange halloween rice.
PS I love your kids' names!
Ah yes, I was thinking you were using DRY rice and coloring that, which was why there was mystery in my mind. :)
Hope the Halloween rice turned out!
Toodles,
Lisa
