What to do on a rainy day....

This doesn't count as a family favorite, but this is what you do when work is super stressful and you need to focus your mind away from work. This is a project you can concentrate on so you can stop stressing for a few hours. Whip up a batch of cupcakes, take some white frosting and add blue food coloring to replicate water. Save some of the white frosting and take a toothpick and swirl through the blue to make it look like there is foam from waves. Take Teddy Grahams and make bikini's and bathing suits with colored melting chocolate, and a black food marker to make eyes, mouth and nose. The beach blankets are made out of fruit roll ups, and gummy life savers are the life preservers. Crush up the broken Teddy Grahams at the bottom of the box (if you have the heart to that is!) to make sand, sprinkle on some daisy and wildflower shaped sprinkles, because I think they look like starfish and seashells. Finish off some of the cupcakes with cocktail drink umbrellas.

Uh oh! By the looks of the umbrella the wind has really picked up and the waves are getting fierce. Look at poor Teddy! He has a frown on his face and he appears to be drowning! Don't just sit there someone help him! Throw him one of the life preservers!!

Everyone is having too much fun to realize that Teddy is in distress. I hope he makes it!

Oh good! Teddy made it to shore and is now floating on one of the rafts. That was a close one!
