Week in Review: Color Week 2

Our yummy strawberry spread :)

Froglet dumped them into the sorting tray.

Then he put them back in the tubes.

I Love love love the Lakeshore ones, but they don't fit my budget.

I got these tubes at Wal~Mart.

The pieces are pretty sturdy.

The lids are a bit tricky, but not too bad.

We are still working on painting.

I keep trying.  Maybe if I start making the handprint wreath he will paint more!

Cinnamon Mix, did not disappoint!

Week In Review: Colors

We are painting!!

I am so proud of myself for getting out the paints...

now Froglet has decided he doesn't want to paint anymore lol

I will continue to ask though :)

We will keep plugging along :)

I found this recipe so long ago... now it's lost!  It was from generic chex cereal. I think it is:

1/4 cup white sugar
1t cinnamon
1/4 cup butter
4 cups chex cereal
1/2 cup raisins

Melt butter in electric skillet.  Add cereal and raisins. Coat well.  Mix cinnamon and sugar.  Add to skillet.  Stir to coat. Store in bag/sealed container.

I have NO idea if those are the amounts.  I have searched high and low for the actual recipe both in my home and on Pinterest with no luck :(
