My husband has been gone for 3 and 1/2 days! My parents have helped out tremendously and that is the only reason I have any sanity left! So this morning, after my kiddos were up while it was still dark, like 5:00 dark, and after my dad left, stating he had had all the fun he could stand!, we made some crayons.
My crayons at school were looking a little rough, but I couldn't bring myself to throw them away. So, we peeled them...
broke them in half,
and put them in a muffin tin. After about 15 min.
in an oven that had been preheated to 350 and then turned off we had some crayon soup. (I wish I would have gotten a picture, but I only have so much to work with!) We then put them in the freezer for about a couple hours while we ran some errands. This is what we have now:
The boys had fun, and I liked the way they came out. Good use of broken crayons!
**Oh, update on the scale. Guess it got my note, because this morning it finally got on board with me. Three numbers down...guess it can stay now :)
Valentine's Friday came and it was filled with love (from my students) and lots and lots of laughing and dancing. I had a "dance" in my room (not the kind with the lights turned off and slow music playing...no way! Imagine Soulja Boy, Cupid Shuffle, Single Ladies!). I would post pictures, but I think that's kind of a gray area. It was lots of fun, and I did learn the Cupid Shuffle...yes I know I am totally behind the times. I was overwhelmed by all the Valentines and candy my kiddos had for me...they are so sweet!
