From Trash to...Treasure?

We've been creative with our activities lately and have found some fun ways to use things we would otherwise throw away. True, these toys may not last another week, but it's fun for the process.
Juice Box Bowling Pins (And if you look carefully in the background you'll see some old PB jars that work great for storing small pieces)


Tissue Box Monster Shoes, with sponge toes! Miles hasn't gotten into them yet, he prefers the timer we made him out of some old bottles, colored sand and a button.


Juice Box floating boats! (Our favorite so far) We use them outside in our "pool", but Miles found it just as entertaining to put them in a pan and use the straw to push them around.



And just for good measure, here's some Gwen cuteness. Jenn, this is one of the adorable outfits you sent when she was born. I was worried she'd miss wearing it because it was 9 months and she is only 4 months. Guess what, it's a little tight on her already. :)
