boon's log 1408.07: Weekend updates: Shakers and Ribs

Well, it was yet another rainy weekend here in good ol' OR. Didn't do much, especially with Ab cathing a mild cold and a cough. So, it was mostly indoors and then grocery shopping again. A R&R weekend, Ab even took a 2.5hours nap on Sunday (!!!), and so did her parents... ;)

Well, since we were in doors, I thought I'd spend some time making her a toy - yeah, you read right, making her a "toy". It's amazing how something so simple can keep the dad busy (in the process of making it) and also the end result was quite awarding...

First you start of with
1. Mineral Water bottle, preferably a small one
2. Some crayons you get from your local diner (Applebees, Chevy's...)
3. Scotch tape

Directions:
1. Remove the label from the mineral water bottle
2. dice up the crayons - you can categorize them by color, but i chose to mix them up together.
3. fill up the bottle with the cut-up crayons
4. cover the bottle and seal it with scotch tape.

And the result? A happy kid... well, if you do not mind the noise, that is. :)

And for dinner, I cooked up some Chinese braised spare ribs... that got me a smile of approval from IL. :)
