We are supposed to get a lot more snow tomorrow, CANNOT wait to see it! We are having a lot of fun playing in the yard and on the wetland. I am trying to make indoors fun too. We are so thankful for all the gifts pouring in lately! It has been so much fun to have such fun things to open. AnaSofia really loves all her big sister gifts, especially the Raggedy Ann from Trish that I posted about earlier. She thinks Raggedy Ann is pretty special - I think Trish is pretty special! Thank you my girl! Trish also sent some heart shaped ice cube trays that AnaSofia and I repurposed for a fun project I found on marthastewart.com. It is a perfect way to get rid of all the broken crayon pieces that seem to pile up around here, AnaSofia has a nifty new holder for her crayons so we sacrificed all the other ones to make the crazy crayons.
Cutting up the crayons into pieces. No, I didn't let her use the knife but she did have fun chasing all the pieces around the room as they flew EVERYWHERE and organizing them by color.
Baking in the oven, I actually forgot about them and we went out to lunch and came home and they were still baking... I've got A LOT on my mind these days!
The finished product, and her cool new handmade holder for her other crayons. This project was a great way to pass the time with a toddler and it is going to make great Valentine's gifts for AnaSofia's friends.
My favorite gift, beautiful flowers from a beautiful friend. So thoughtful and cheerful for the winter months.

What a great project. You are a never ending source of great kids activities. Perhaps you should write a book. I would definitely buy it.
Wow such pretty crayons and great colors! Nana can't wait to come visit and color with them. Lots of snow everywhere! It would be a great time for sledding at Nana and Boppa's house!
love,
Nana
And Islwyn LOVES his heart shaped crayons. They will be used a lot. We had so much fun this morning--thanks for coming over. I love to watch AnaSofia and Islwyn playing...And it was fun to just catch up.
oh what a great project! Every time I see AnaSofia she is in such an adorable fashionable outfit. (probably cause her mom is so fashionable!) love the pink boots :) Glad to see you are doing well! miss you
