We have been lucky enough to have Uncle Pete here visiting us from Florida. He brought over a special project for the kids that he calls "mish-mosh." The kids were counting down the days until he came to do the project!Prep work, cleaning out the molds. 
Uncle Pete pouring the mish? Or is it the mosh?
How scary is it to mix cement with 3 children? Apparently not at all for Uncle Pete. I was hands off with this project, it all seemed overwhelming to me, I was in charge of taking pics. Ellie and Dani were in charge of pouring/spraying the water and B and P mixed the cement.
Yes, it is a little bit dirty.....
Dani and Ellie thought watering the neighbor's weeds may be a better/easier job.
Brayden stuck it out though. He is such a good worker and his stepping stone turned out amazing!
These are the stepping stones all set up to dry. Uncle Pete came back two days later to help take them out. There is a lot of special technique to this. I am pretty sure I would have cracked them, or there would have been lots of air bubbles!
B tapping his palm tree out.
YAY, you can't really tell how cool it is. B was thrilled!
Ellie tapping hers out.
Dani showing where her hand fits in hers!
