Peep Pops

So for my daughter's class Easter party I went out on a limb and made everyone Peep Pops.  I had seen this floating around blog land and loved it.  The kids thought it was the most awesome thing ever.  Talk about a sugar rush!  They were mighty tasty and pretty fun and relatively easy to make!

(sorry for the bad lighting.  It was late)

Anyway, I totally recommend doing this.  Lotsa fun, and the "Wow Factor" is definitely there!

Enjoy!

Valentines Crayons

So for Valenitnes day i was all excited to make some crayon valentines for the kiddos for school. so while cruising blog land i found these adorable crayons shaped hearts. the tutorial is there, but i have to say, i dont think that its really worth it. it ruined my molds and stuff. but they were super cute and the kiddos LOVED them!  and

see, crayons.

broken up in the molds,

melting,

and wrapped.

so i made the clip boards.  and i have to say.....

epic fail.

kinda sad because i was so excited about it- but it just didn't work.  first the magnetic paint- that was no good.  even after like 6 coats- no magnets would stick to it.  so we had to get metal sheeting.  the magnets worked great, but now the clip boards were heavy. and the little papers kept falling off- so that was just kinda sad for me. 

but now the kids have clip boards they love to use to hold their maps.  the world is good i guess!  lol 

so what i ended up using was the good old formula cans covered! they have worked wonders in our house! i love it!!  then they have the tounge depressers that have what they need to do, when they are done we take them out of the jar and pu the marbles into the jar. they know to go to their cans, they know what to do for how many marbles- they know what cost marbles- namely watch tv, play computer/wii/play station. so its great! i love how excited my kids are to clean the bathroom! lol

it has been awesome.  now to keep coming up with chores!!
