Pinterest - Father's Day

For Father's Day I wanted something for the kids to do that was simple and didn't require a ton of effort on my part since it is peek wedding season.  I saw this little book idea on Pinterest and thought it was perfect!  I printed up two sets of 4x6 from my favorite photo printer and then helped the kids out with it!

Here is Siena's book.  Please excuse my handwriting.  They both kept bumping in to me. The grammer may not be the best either.  I wrote it just as they told me too.




Here is Cole's' book.

Pinterest - eggs

Pinterest.  It's a love/hate relationship for me.  I LOVE the idea, concept, basically everything about it.  I HATE that I can't spend as much time on it as I would like.  HAHA.  ok that's really not a bad thing, right?  So we all spend our days on there pinning, wishing, but never really doing any of it.  So I figured I might as well try some of these things and I will blog when I do!

So the first pin I will blog about is nothing spectacular.  It's more of a "does it really work, or not"

Hard boiled eggs - add baking soda to water and the shell peels off with no problems.

This worked!  The kids are obsessed with hard boiled eggs.  I am not so much enjoying the time it takes with the shell breaking apart.  Now the kids can peel the eggs on their own!  Awesome!
