I bought some marshmallows yesterday. I think this is the third time in my married life (five years now--happy anniversary to me! I mean us...) that I have purchased marshmallows. The other two times were for a chocolate fondue recipe, and both times most of the bag ended up turning into a huge crusty white mass because after one night of chocolatey revelry we didn't touch it for months. I finally bought some again because I read on my favorite craft blog that marshmallows made good paint brushes for polka dots and I had a plain lamp shade for Simon's room that needed some dressing up. But the problem was that after I did this:
I still had a whole lot of marshmallows left.
Enter the edible Christmas toddler craft: painting marshmallow snowmen with Nutella (because Nutella tastes so much better than icing). Here is Asher with his creation.
Unfortunately, all of his artwork is on the side facing him. I couldn't get him to hold it the other way, and have it by his face, and look pleasant, all in the 30 seconds he was willing to wait before eating it. But at least it still tasted good.
And we can make it a tradition! Because next year we'll probably still have some of those marshmallows left.

I only like marshmallows on s'mores while camping. Thus, we have had stale bags at our house frequently! Matt usually takes care of them eventually. Cute idea!
Cute lampshade! I have to say that I love stale marshmallows. I like them hard on the outside, so that when you chew them, there's almost a crunch. Happy anniversary!
Sorry, Kristi, according to President Uchtdorf, you're in for trouble in the future.
That lampshade is soooo cute! I love it.
Why don't you make marshmellow treats? Not a fan? Eden and Tommy LOVE marshmellows and I think the little ones are fun to put in hot chocolate, so that is what we do (and then we throw out the stale ones because i think they are nasty :) ) It really is hard to eat an entire bag of marshmellows, even for those of us who like them.
Happy Anniversary!
(I'm still waiting to see that cute little wooden tree of yours!)
Kris! Happy Anniversary to YOU!...and mumble mumble something about Hugh in there...somewhere... That lampshade is GLORIOUS! Mmmm...reveling in the cute-ness. Haha. I love that sweatshirt on Asher as well, cream looks fantastic with his skin. :)
