Picnics and Crayon Making

I have taken another loooonnnngg break from my blog. I'm hoping as I spend late on Saturday night starting to catch up that I still have a follower or two. ;)
I'm goin' way back to maybe late May.
Julie and Samson visited us on one of our few beautiful afternoons for a little picnic snack time in our front yard. It was one of my attempts to encourage my daughter to eat. But she was more distracted with her good buddy "Shepa".

A few days later, when the rain returned (sigh..) Lilah and I made new crayons from old, broken crayons. I got the idea from Jen in my PEPS group who had done this with her little girl. We melted the crayons in a muffin tin and then chose different candy molds to pour the melted crayons in to make new crayons in the shape of different foods and hearts. It was fun (except for the fact that we made a brown pretzel crayon that looks like a chocolate covered pretzel and Lilah has tried to eat it a few times....I don't blame her).
