On Vacation - Need to Post

Well.... I really intended to write every two weeks, buuuttt that didn't happen. And then I thought I should go back and try to recreate the time I missed, and that ain't gonna happen either, so I will just start right now with yesterday.

It was raining! That is a beautiful thing! I good day to stay indoors and finish projects.



This is a bumble toy and it took a while to find the right place to solder in for the switch to work.  But I got it!  


This is the back of a Busy Gears toy that Caoimhe's friend Grace gave her for Christmas that I promised to adapt. Procrastination WILL be the death of me.  I knew it was possible to adapt this one because Johnny and I had done one for Baby Jacob. But I had to figure out the where.  The more high tech the toys get the more difficult they are to adapt. It used to be I could just stick a battery interrupter in and it would be a switch toy. Now you have to track down and solder into a circuit board.  

But I got them ready and I will mail them back to Texas tomorrow, so maybe you will see her use them on her Facebook page.

Last night I wanted candied popcorn so I tried this Pinterest recipe:

I used raspberry kook-aid and Uncle Randy and I ate the whole 1/2 batch!


NOPE! This is NOT what mine looked like this is the picture from the website! HA!



If anyone sees these toys at a garage sale cheap (like $2 or less), please pick them up for me! 
I would love to adapt more of them for other children!
