Crayon meets Dryer

So I posted on Facebook a few days ago that Norah 'helped' me with the laundry. Ugh. Usually she likes to push the clothes in to the dryer and is a good helper. This time she added a crayon. No idea when she did it, you'd think I would have seen it since I was standing right there....
Sooo yeah. Green crayon melted to my dryer and just about every item of clothing that was in it.


It was worse then the pictures look since the camera didn't pick up on the faint marks or the door side of the drum.

After much scrubbing over two days, by myself and George, it's now back to almost normal.
The clothing however, I had to rewash multiple times after soaking overnight. Most of the green came out, a few items still have marks that just won't come clean.
Not an experience I wish to repeat!

Pretty sunshine between the clouds

We've had some odd weather here lately. A few days ago I saw the sun shining on the hill behind our house with some foggy clouds above. It looked so cool I just had to take a few pictures.

Ooblick?

You know, the cornstarch and water mix? We were bored the other night and trying to think of things to do with Norah. So I said to George, 'Hey I have an idea, but it's going to be messy' and he said, 'Oh yeah? Like making Ooblick?' It was so funny that he instantly thought of the same thing!

Pie

I really wanted an apple pie last week, so I decided to just make one. It turned out pretty good! I know a few changes I'd make next time, but not bad for a first try.


I had some leftover dough and filling so I made a tiny pie for Norah.
She liked it! Although, she liked the crust more then the apples, which I thought was odd since she loves apples. I guess she just doesn't like them cooked.
