The grandkids went to the other grandparents house for the day, so daughter and Mom and I went shopping and to a late lunch! That was nice. Had one of the best pizzas EVER...and the toppings were: (drum roll please)...pineapple and bacon. Delish!!!
After Emily was asleep, Donovan, daughter and DIL and I melted chocolate in the microwave in small sandwich sized ziplock bags (melting directions are on bag...but must go slow and be careful, as we had a few bags melt into the candy which we had to throw away). Here is the melting chocolate we used...there are many colors, but we had bought brown and yellow to try and make sunflowers.
You can see that we had tried putting coloring book pictures under wax paper to "draw" out candy shapes, but that didn't work out too well...so we did free hand.

My job was mostly "Melter" and "assistant"...but I did do this little sort of loose weave pattern, which, when dry, looked really cool on both sides. I intended to take a picture of that, but somehow it fell in my mouth, and was gone in a second...
This last pic was the only one that had the flash turned off...much better.....
This gets 5 stars as a family fun activity!!!
I think next will be each making our own individual pizzas...mine with pineapple and bacon, of course!!!
