Crayon Craft
Last week, I received an email from my mother-in-law with a link to a craft website. Specifically, making heart crayons from old broken ones. I just happened to start saving all our broken crayons to make something with them, so this was just perfect timing. After Valentine's Day, I stopped at Target and found silicone ice trays to use as molds for our crayons.
First step, remove the wrapper from all the crayons and break them into pieces small enough for our molds. This step took ten times longer than I thought it would, but we also had more broken crayons than I thought.
Next, we sorted the crayons by color and filled all the slots. We set the silicone trays onto a baking sheet to make it a little easier to get in and out of the oven. We left them in a 200 degree oven until they were completely melted.
After letting them cool, we popped them out of the molds and...viola!! We now have more crayons. Plus, they are super special because we made them. Thanks Sharon!!

Our Valentine's Day Princess
It is very rare for Kimble to want to do "girly" things. So Sunday, when she wanted to be a princess, I couldn't say no. We painted her fingernails, put a bow in her hair, a bracelet on her arm and some shiny lip gloss on her lips. We just had to document the special occasion.
Valentine's With Great Friends
We are so lucky to have such a great group of friends to hang out with. We always have such a fun time when we are out together. Next time, game night for the boys!

Pirate by Kimble
I love that she even drew an eye-patch and a parrot on her shoulder. She has really loved drawing lately. Kimble is trying to draw more animals, people and objects every day (and she is pretty good at it, too).

Letting Go...
Yep, yet another picture of Koltyn. He just keeps finding new things to surprise us with. Just this week he started climbing the stairs again. He has figured out how to get up very quietly and quickly. Plus, he finally cut his first tooth. Luckily, he has not taken off walking yet (he is only 8 1/2 months old after all).
