Took the kids sledding today at Grigg's Reservoir.

The sledding hill was really fast today!
At the bottom of the sledding hill is a parking lot
with plowed snow to help stop the kids when coming
down the hill. Unfortunately it does not stop all
the kids and they end up going up and over, lol.
Christopher did at the end of this video and that's the
reason for the camera looking at the parking lot at
times. Tony and a couple other people had to stop him
before he got road rash. Too late as he scuffed up
his knees.


_____________________________________________


After sledding we stopped in Kroger.
Sorry no pics of receipt as camera battery
died after sledding :(

BATH TIP

A lot of times I get Quaker rolled oats oatmeal on sale for free or cheap.
Sometimes I get so much I don't know what to do with it.

Here is a tip of something I do with the extras:

I have one can of regular oatmeal then another can
of oatmeal I ground up in the food processor.

Whenever we have dry skin I add the powdered oatmeal to the
bath water.

No food processor? Add 1/2 to 1 cup regular oatmeal
to a sock and tie the end up. Put it in the bath water.
Squish it a few times and use all over body for softer skin.
I'm sure everyone has a sock that has lost it's mate
so this is a way to recycle those socks :)

Also you can make a paste with the powdered oatmeal
and apply to poison ivy and mosquito bites.

This evening I am getting a head start on making
bakery boxes for Jonathan's class project.
After doing a few trial and error boxes
I found one I really liked, well something
that was easy to cut out and put together, lol.
I found the cardstock white paper at Big Lots,
75 sheets for $2. Then put them in the printer
so each box would have designs on them.
Here is the template I am using.


I have only just started to make the boxes
and haven't even begun to make the mini
cupcakes. So here is a visual for ya...

I plan on making mini cupcakes to put in them.



Earlier today I found mini cupcake wrappers
at Kroger for .52 cents for 100 of them.

I plan to put these candy dipped "cupcakes"
on the wrappers and in each box.

Hubby doesn't understand why I just don't go
out and buy premade favor boxes!
Here's why...
I can make 75 favor boxes for $2.00!!
Now check out how much Target wants for only 25 of them!!
By doing it myself I am saving $61.00!!!
WHY ASK WHY!

So as you can see I will be very very busy this evening
with cutting, cutting and more cutting and putting
together all these favor boxes!
The things I do for my kids, ahhhh.
It's part of being a mom though, lol.

9:30pm
this is about as far as I got with making favor boxes.
