Do You Know The Chocolate Man?

Do you know the Chocolate Man?
The Chocolate Man?
The Chocolate Man?
Do you know the Chocolate Man,
Who lives in Amarillo?



And just how did Eli become this Chocolate Man?

It's all because of my friend, Stephanie, and Her Big Idea. Actually, as with all good ideas, she stole it. We were wanting something easy after our melt-downs from the night before and since all we needed were a couple of boxes of instant chocolate pudding this activity fit the bill.

Getting ready for the "surprise".


The suspense was unbearable, but instant pudding does take 4 minutes to set up!


It was a slow start...




...But they figured it out!




And there was time for a snack.



Surprisingly, Phoebe did not partake of her body art. She chose to pose for pictures instead.



Then the "real" fun started!



Just take a look at these guns!


The finished "masterpieces"


Stephanie had a great idea for clean-up!




Don't worry, we let them take showers later! :)

My bathtub may never be the same.

Most Fun Mom ever! I may copy that idea soon. Hopefully 110 degrees outside wouldn't make the pudding permanent. :)
