My 3 year old loves to purposely break crayons and remove the paper.

Making recycling crayons was the perfect project for her. I took a couple pictures of the process, which luckily is simple since I somehow lost those pictures.

My husband and I started our first garden this year and I just might be in love with gardening.
This year we planted sugar snap peas, carrots, onions, tomatoes, peppers, corn, red and russet potatoes..and then we ran out of room and got too lazy (and ran out of time!) to expand our garden this year!
That loan tomato is my baby right now. :)
