Wordless Wednesday- It's about stinkin' time!

Ultrasound pictures, and a little musical number from The Three Amigos!

I had my ultrasound this morning. The whole family came. Ned was the only one that really understood what was on the screen, but they were all happy to be there. Lucky and Dusty were more fascinated by my bare belly than the monitor.

Here are some of the pictures we got a few weeks ago. Something was not working on my Photoshop today so I do not have any from today. Sorry.








The Three Amigos are very excited. They prepared a little song and dance for their baby, and to introduce our baby's blog name to you.



It's my new favorite song! We can't wait to meet you, Buttercup!

Going Green

Well, I don't know if this qualifies as going green, but we did do some recycling today. My boys will be home from school for four days (and that is following Dusty being home sick for three days) and I needed to keep them busy and me from going crazy. I was cleaning out the crayon tub and started to throw away the tiny pieces when I remembered that I had always wanted to recycle crayons.

First we unwrapped the old crayons.









Then broke them into smaller pieces. It was a little harder for some of us than others.





Put them in a muffin tin with liners.



Melted them in the oven (Dusty sat there for almost 20 minutes watching them melt).





When they were done cooling the boys unwrapped them and were thrilled with the results.



It was a very fun project for the Amigos and kept them busy for almost two hours, plus the time they spent coloring afterwards.
