Halloween cookies
Friday, October 17th, 2008Scarlet LOVES crayons!
Tuesday, August 26th, 2008She loves to BREAK them, and then meticulously peel off their little paper sweaters. What to do with boxes full of broken peeled crayons? Make bigger+better crayons!
We grouped them in like-colors(ish) and baked them at 225.
Tah Dah! Brand new fist size crayons that are SUPER fun to stack or to pretend they are cupcakes and cookies and feed to mom and dad.
P.S. It’s easier to get them out of the muffin tin if you put them in the freezer for a bit–the wax will shrink slightly and they will pop right out. Don’t hand them straight to the kid though–When they are cold they will break easier. (Scarlet cried when she broke one of her new crayon/cookies.)

My biggest Scrapbooking accomplishment:
Monday, August 18th, 2008
When I was pregnant a friend told me that her mother kept track
of her first 100 words and how she really treasured it and I decided
to try to do it. Of course deciding to do something and actually doing
it are totally different–but I pulled through on this one! Here are the
results.
Big words for such a little girl.
Tuesday, August 12th, 2008Scarlet has been using some surprisingly big words lately!
Here are some of the things she can be heard saying:
“Daddia works at Probadence” (Providence)
“watermelon!”
“It’s very important”
“It’s my collection”
“I need a appetizer, mom!”
Her little toe is healing nicely–
she seems to have forgotten about it already.
