The Short One is truly on vacation this week, so we've been lounging around at home. We spent the morning dyeing paper.

It was pretty satisfying (the SO loves messing with food coloring and mixing colors generally), but we did run out of space pretty quickly:
I'm sure this will be on our agenda again later this week.
Hope everyone else had a great weekend. Here are your links for the week:

Ooh, that's a good idea! I was thinking since they're already circular, we could cut out colorful snowflakes, but it's not quite the right season...
