Craft Day at Home

Today I decided it was a stay home pj day. I did not want to do any thing. I think I am getting into the nesting faze of my pregnancy. As I was watching TV on the Today show, they showed things to do with your kids during the recession. Not sure about the recession so much but we took some of their ideas. We took all Allison's broken crayons and put them into a muffin pan and melted them. It was a lot of fun for her. You melt them at 325 for about 8 mins. They come out all mixed together. We call them the muffin crayons. Now I don't have to replace them for awhile. Allison loved it and thought her new crayons were great. I do not recommend melting white or yellow. For some reason they don't show up on paper unless you use black paper.

After that we decided to make some Easter treasure boxes. My friend Tamara got Allison a craft book last year and I found some fun crafts to do with her. Allison loved to paint the box but then she started to paint her hands and stomach.
I was OK with that since I knew we were not going any where. Mom ended up painting the boxes and later this weekend Allison will glue the fun things on top of them. After the painting we headed to the bath where Allison made the water turn pink. It was so nice to relax at home and stay in our pj's most of the day. After nap time (Allison ended up not sleeping) we played bowling alley in our hall way with a old ball and blocks. I was so tired of entertaining her all day
but it was a fun thinking of things to do at home.
