Homemade crayons.

July 31st, 2007

I found this idea at Crafty Daisies and decided to try it today. The kids had so much fun, especially when I said you get to peel all the paper off and you get to break the crayons into little pieces. They were like YES!!! So here are all the broken crayons:

In the muffin tin:

All melted and ready for the freezer for a bit:

And ready to color:

These really are really good for little hands. They had the idea on Crafty Daisies to put some in a bag and give them as gifts. And I think that is a great idea. :)

My eldest is at Sports camp all week and he is having a blast. He wants to play real football next fall and I think I am going to let him. I think he will make a great player. He starts basketball in October and so does Chandler so we are going to be very busy with sports stuff. :) I am doing some new stuff with my eldest this week. And it seems to be working pretty well, I must say though that I am exhausted at the end of the day. It is taking all my energy. We got the final chore charts hung up and the kids are really enjoying putting there stickers on there chores for the day. I am trying to get really structured for him and see how that helps behavior and it seems to really help, but like I said it is tiring. We will see how the rest of the week goes.

Today I went into Chick -fil- a and I was sitting in the play area and all of a sudden Hillsong started playing and towards the end of the song everyone on the CD was just worshiping the Lord in there own way. It was so cool. I was like I am sitting in a public place listening to this, awesome. Then all these worship songs came on, it was great.

Anyways, I need to start dinner. Everyone is getting hungry…

    I applaud your efforts to consolidate our crayons into a few molten lumps, but now I’m finding multi-colored crayon chunks all over the house. Hmmmmm… ;)
