Father's Day Gift from the kids

Here's the father's day gift the kids made for Brady.  I'm banking on him not checking this blog before Sunday.  I think I'm pretty safe.

Hair stuff - Organized!

3 ice cube trays - 50 cents at a garage sale.  What a bonus that they're purple!

This is great because I can see them all and can easily find ones that match.

White Steam/Water Stains on Real Wood Table GONE!

I saw this on pinterest and figured I was out NOTHING to try, and oh my word it WORKS!  I held the blow dryer over the stain for about 10-15 minutes and it disappeared! 

Before: half moon stain on right side

 After:  half moon stain GONE!

Before

 After

I'm confident I can get ALL the stains out, I just need to be more patient as the larger ones take more than 15 minutes to disappear.  It's also a big different looking at a picture since the light glares a bit and makes it look like more of a white spot than it actually is. 

Boy Sports Bedroom

Painted a basketball court on Drew's bedroom wall.  Used blue painters tape to tape off the burgandy lane and the backboard and other straight lines and then free-handed the arc.  We found the basketball hoop online. 

We painted this large baseball on the wall. 

Hot Dog Octopuss

Cut hog dogs into chunks, press several raw spaghetti noodles into the hot dog.  Boil.  I usually just toss these into the macaroni when making mac n cheese.  I only buy angel hair pasta but I bet it would work a bit better with spaghetti noodles instead.

Dr. Seuss Treats

In honor of Dr. Seuss day, Drew brought these cat-in-the-hat treats to preschool.  We partially made them at home and Drew and his class assembled them at school.  Super easy - just dip part of a large marshmallow in water and roll in red sugar.  Note:  I used a bottle and a half of sugar and made 17 pops, 2 marshmallows in each pop (with sugar on them).  The brim of the hat - the bottom marshmallow - is just flattened somewhat.

Laundry Room Socks

I think these socks look cute hanging on the wall of the laundry room, but it's kinda just bleh.  I need a saying on top of it or something to add to this.  Ideas welcome!!!!
