Today we are doing a silly project we are still in the middle of (they are still cooling). We took a bunch of broken crayons and peeled them then broke them into pieces and melted them into new swirly ones. The full instructions are on my friend Launi's blog. We used one of those "water bottle" shaped ice cube molds and lined it with foil to make sure they would come out easily. So far they look really cool!
***update, the crayons turned out awesome, they took about 25 min in the oven, but when finished they were about the size of the large crayons, so they worked really great! One note though is to make sure you don't even get a pin whole in the aluminum foil or you will get a mess, in the mold and it stains!
My sister Jenni comes over every Wednesday night so while her hubby Braeden plays basketball with Matt. Well this always ends up being a really late night for my kiddos, cause who wants to go to bed when your craziest aunt is there to play? This will have to change a little after school starts cause none of us will be able to sleep in on Thursday mornings like we do pretty often right now. Well last week we were all playing in the living room like normal and I hear baby S gag on something (this happens often cause she likes to stick her fingers down her throat for some strange reason) This time there was something crazy in her mouth that made us all laugh so super hard! She spit it out right after these pictures (she wasn't suffocating, or anything, it was just SOOO big for her mouth!) 
We play a lot of dress up at our house because we have all the old Halloween costumes that my mom has made over the years and they are REALLY cool! Well this time E used a pair of padded pants that the crotch had warn out of as a shirt... I couldn't stop laughing! (Sorry the picture isn't great, but if I go and edit all the pictures I don't get the post done... so I am posting it even though it's a little dark and blurry)
My boys used to love to wear goggles all the time, and I have some great pictures of especially E, but Baby S does NOT feel the same way about them, but I had to see, so here is a couple of pictures of my attempt at putting goggles on her. As you can see she was much happier once she got them off of her face.
One more silly thing I don't have a picture of... we haven't been camping yet this summer and we have been missing one of the things that you have to have when you go camping especially so... we have been making smores in the oven. We start with one graham cracker and pile up the mini marshmallows on each and put them under the broiler for 1 minute. (watch up close!) When browned pull them out and sprinkle them with chocolate chips and smoosh the other graham cracker on top and enjoy.
Matt took me on a great adventure and we took lots of pictures for our anniversary, but that is going to have to wait cause not it is nap time and I have to go... so until next time.
