Old crayons beautiful again

I have become addicted to Pinterest.  On Sunday we did a little crayon recycling project that I found on pinterest.  It was rainy and muggy so we stayed inside most of the day, my six year sorted through the heaps of crayons we have in boxes all around the house.  She collected all the little broken pieces and removed all the paper. We put all the like colors together in a silicon baking mold, I used a flower mold but you could use any shape or size to make this fun! Preheat the oven to 300 and bake them for 20-25 minutes.  Remove and let cool thouroughly I let mine cool overnight just to make sure they were back to their original state. The result is some cool looking new crayons!

Ah Ha August

Well it has been to warm to do anything I am seriously ready for Fall and we have at least one more month of this heat and humidity.  Most people stay indoors in the winter NOT me I stay indoors in the Summer, in the AC, oh how thankful I am for AC.

Reading...
I have been introduced to the Kindle app on my iphone and I love it!!I have downloaded tons of free amazon books and I am now back to reading.  I had stopped reading for a while because I generally read at night when the kiddos where in bed but seems my son does not like to go to bed unless I am in bed with him.... Pretty hard to read a book in the dark so the kindle app has allowed me to read again ah,  not only that I have a book with me wherever I go.
