No First Day Jitters Here!

There is something about the first day of school that makes these girls wake up so happy and without complaints. Let’s just hope it stays that way!  Madelyn is a brand new kindergartener and Felicia is starting second grade. The boys of course, do not have a first day picture because , “Geez Mom, that’s LAME!”. That’s okay, because I am pretty sure I felt that same way when I was a teenager.

I hope they all have a great day at school and I can’t wait to pick them up and hear all about it!

Recycled Crayons

Every year at back to school time, we replenish all of our crayons with new ones. However, we don’t just toss the old crayons. We recycle them into new crayons that are perfect for toddlers!

First, you need to peel and sort your old broken crayons and put them in a muffin tin.

Next, place the muffin tin in a 265 degree oven and bake for about 8-10 minutes. (or until just melted)

Remove then pan from the oven and allow the crayons to cool and harden. To make it easier to get the crayons out, I put them in the freezer for about 30 minutes or so. Then, just pop them out and color!
