Play-Doh and Cheese

This afternoon while Levi was napping Lulu played with her Play-Doh. I find it very interesting to watch her play. She is so much like her daddy. She doesn't like to mix the colors. Mark is very organized and could probably paint a house in his church clothes and they would stay clean. I'm total opposite and would have paint EVERYWHERE and my Play-Doh would be brown because I would have mixed them all together. I'm guessing Levi is going to play with brown Play-Doh. Then Lulu helped me make some cheese. I read about how easy it is to make a nice soft cheese from yogurt so we are trying it out. Another way that Mark and I are different is that he would actually read the directions and follow them and I like to wing it and just hope mine turns out. But the nice thing about making this cheese is that it's so simple that I don't think you can mess it up too much. I think the directions called for 2 cups of yogurt so that's about what we did. Then we wrapped the cheese-cloth tightly and are letting it sit on the counter while the whey drips out. This will take a few hours or can be left overnight. I think we will try it this evening. I'll post an update to show how it turned out. Look at Lulu's face......she's a bit timid about touching the gooey cheese-cloth. It was fun making it. I sure hope it turns out!

Kimmy,
It sounds like you and I both would end up with brown playdough and be covered head to toe in paint! Can't wait to see how the cheese turned out!
