Crayons

Ryan and I made crayons this week. It's real simple to do. Take broken crayons, remove the paper wrapper and place different colored pieces into a metal or silicone muffin pan. (I used a heart shaped silicone muffin pan.) The more you fill each section the thicker your crayons will be. Put them in the oven at 275. Once the pan is removed the crayons will be soupy. Let sit for an hour. Pop them out and color!

Ry loved, loved, loved this!!!

President's Day

Ryan knows who our current president is as well as Abraham Lincoln and George Washington. In his preschool class they have been learning all about presidents. Yesterday I had to work, however, Ry's preschool was closed. This meant Travis spent the day with Ryan. In the morning they visited the Children's Museum. It's our go to and Ry loves it. While crowded, he still enjoyed it, especially the water area.

Happy President's Day!

Sleepover

Ry hosted his first sleepover Friday night. His friend Elizabeth from across the street came over. We started out by making popcorn and then watching Toy Story 2. Easily distracted the kids went back and forth between watching the movie and playing. Around 9pm we headed upstairs so they could brush their teeth and I could read to them. With sleeping bags sprawled on the floor I said goodnight to 2 giggling children. After nearly 2 hours of giggling, jumping, talking, singing, and switching back and forth between the bed and the floor, they finally fell asleep. At least they slept in till 8!

Warm Walks

The weather has been so nice lately, upper 50's and even lower 60's today. It's allowed us to take walks when we come home for dinner which has been wonderful. Ry loves to run ahead and collect rocks, leaves and of course find a walking stick. Today his friend Elizabeth joined us on our walk.

I can't wait till spring when we can enjoy this weather later!

Valentine's Day Food

Happy Valentine's Day!

I could not be more excited about Ry's lunch today. He's getting to that age where he appreciates the little touches and I love it.

Ry's lunch today consists of:
heart shaped tortilla pocket sandwich
heart shaped fruit snacks in a mini heart cup
heart shaped cheese
blueberries on heart skewers
heart shaped apple and red pepper slices
heart shaped cookie

It's all in a neatly packaged container with a little valentine on the outside.

Not to mention that this morning's breakfast will consist of a cherry heart shaped donut. Dinner tonight- red and white heart shaped ravioli's in a pink alfredo sauce.

I love it!

Birthday

It's not often this blog is about someone other than Ryan but I had to brag on my boys who treated me to a wonderful birthday! I wish I would've taken more pictures, especially of Ry's card he made for me and the lego creation that was waiting for me when I came downstairs. He used 31 legos to celebrate my 31st birthday.

A big thank you to my wonderful husband who treated me to one of my best birthdays ever!
