Marshmallow Snowmen

I have another new nephew.
That makes two in four weeks.
Meet Brody Zane.His big brother Tyson is all of 21 months old.
Jobie and I thought we would give their mommy a little break.
So we stole Tyson for a bit the other day.We took him with us to storytime.Then fed him lunch.And made a little craft.The hats look a bit like witch's hats.
But by the time Ezzie got home from school,
I had been to Dillon's and purchased some Rolos.
And some pretzels too.
I get all my good ideas after the fact.
Well, Rolos and pretzels aren't amazing ideas really.
I'm sure most of you would have thought of them much earlier.
Jobe and Tyson didn't miss them.
But Ezzie was glad I had them.
He even asked for pretzels before I pulled them out.Marshmallow snowman.
Good enough to eat.
Poor thing didn't make it to supper.

Fun with Old Crayons

What you need:
muffin tin
muffin cups
trash bowl
old, broken crayons
What you do:
concentrate really hard
peel the paper off the crayons
throw the paper in the trash bowl
brake the crayons into even smaller pieces
if you can
and mix and match them into the muffin tins
preheat oven to 350
melt crayons for ten minutes
let cool about ten minutes
then be in awe over what you have created
finally
color, color, color

I did this once upon a time.
Really not so long ago...
I wish.
Such a fun memory for me.
