K hot dogs are kinda gross (make that really gross), but M wanted to make these from this Halloween magazine we got at Barnes & Noble. Can you tell what they are? Mummies! With mustard dots for eyeballs! They are wrapped with those refridgerated breadsticks that you can bake in the oven. I think these [...]

waldorf dolls
I promise never to make fun of parents who buy ridiculously expensive dolls for their kids, because I just became one of them!! Pass the humble pie, please. I admit I used to make fun of those crazy people but now I’m just as bad. E and M are just growing up so fast and [...]

eggs!
We tried out some of that silk tie egg dyeing but only three of them turned out to be silk…whoops! They didn’t have tags.
Good thing I had a Paas egg dye kit!
Don’t forget to use the extra dye for playdoh. It does make the playdoh kind of vinegary smelling if you used the Paas [...]

Frog and Toad
Lately M has been all about Frog and Toad. If you haven’t read these since you were a kid, you should pull them out again. The stories are great and have just the right amount of humor so they are not boring to read over and over again. Oh, and over and over and over [...]

Leo the Lop
Ready for an onslaught of cute bunny pictures?
The pattern can be found at Purl Bee. It’s a quick project if you have all the stuff together where you can find it–we were able to finish it within one of baby’s naps.
