LUNCH BOX

As the C Monster will be starting school in September he needed a new lunch box.  This was no brainer for me; a few of my friends have a Planetbox for their kids and well we knew that is what we wanted.

Here is a picture of C enjoying his lunch packed in his new Planetbox.


I am gonna spend the summer trying to figure out lunch ideas to pack up for him; if any one has great suggestions please do share.

ON THE HUNT FOR AN EASEL

We decided that we wanted to get an easel for Christophe's birthday that is coming up.  We looked online and narrowed it down to 3 then to 1...

Double Sided Art Easel from Scholars Choice

Art Easel from P'Kolino




And our choice....

Art Easel with Paper Roll from KidKraft


I hate to admit we bought it from Walmart but it was almost 20$ cheeper then any other location and delivery was under 1$.

VALENTINES DAY

Here is a quick look at what the C Monster and I were up to this week to celebrate the day of love...


We made these cake pops for a Valentines day party that was at our house for C and all his friends.  They may look complicated but it was one of the easiest things I have ever made. 
  • Buy pound cake cut it up in hearts with a cookie cutter
  • Stick popsicle sticks in the bottom
  • Freeze overnight
  • Use store bought frosting (this is important) melt it in the microwave stirring every 30 seconds on medium heat
  • Once it's pretty liquidy dip your frozen cake pops in; let extra frosting drip off
  • It's good if you can find a way to stand up the cake pops while they dry not to mess up the frosting on the back
  • Once dry, decorate as pleased
  • Store in refrigerator until ready to eat (you can pull out about an hour before)



This was Geoff Valentines day present C Monster selected the tool box and then said we need fill it with tools. When I asked what kind off tools he said tool treats.
