A little of this and a little of that (last week's happenings)

Last Sunday "the girls" (I could write a whole other post on that phrase) had a little shower for our lifetime friend, Kris! She and her husband our expecting their first little one in December. I could not be more excited for them and I can't wait to meet baby Noah! Unfortunately, I didn't get the pictures that I had planned on taking but here are a few of the decorations.
Kris, I love you, and here's to a quick last couple months!

Brandi, I had such fun running around with you. Thank you for teaching me how to make diaper cakes. Isn't she great?!




Randomness from last week:

Here's a little fun project idea that Ellie and I worked on. Such a great way to "recycle" broken crayons.

Step 1: Take the wrapper off of the broken crayons.
Step 2: Line a muffin-tin compartment with at least 3 paper liners (so that melting crayons will not seep through).
Step 3: Have children place crayons in the liners, about 2/3 full. Bake the crayons at 350 for about 10 mins.
Step 4: Children can enjoy their new circular crayons. Math/Science lesson: that liquids take the shape of their container, how heat causes change. :-) How's that for nerdy? If one is going to homeschool, they have to get used to it at some point.

Ellie wrote her name... not so easy with these crayons.




Don't you love when a 3 year olds state the obvious. The other day I overheard Ellie and Cory playing... she said, " Daddy you have pillows all over you." Hmmm.... how did those get there?



I will leave you with a twin blog debut... They are R-O-L-L-I-N-G over!! Usually that would make a momma happy, but that means crawling is next! Yikes! Here's some pics, not the best, but hey...






Until next time....
