Crayons, Bubbles, Catch
Just a fun Sunday at home..! Today the kids used all the broken crayons to melt down into rainbow crayon cupcakes. They had fun choosing their color combos, although we learned that crayon quality varies widely, which affects the quality of the blend. The majority of the broken crayons were cheap restaurant crayons, and yeah, they are mostly just wax, not a lot of pigment. Still, it was a fun activity. 🙂 The kids also amused themselves with Duplos and Brian’s new Star Wars Command...

We also got some other characters that Kendall would like–I think she might be able to play this game, too!

I added those How To Train Your Dragon rings on top to make it thematic like his party. Brian was happy we both could join him for lunch, and he really liked the ridiculously blue...
