Banana Peanut Butter Nilla Wafer Sammiches (With Sprinkles)

Original Pin Here.

From the Mother (who did this pin all by herself, without the knowledge of the daughter because she was hungry, these looked good, and apparently teenagers sleep until like noon in the summer time.):

Who doesn't like Nilla Wafers?  These things have got to be on the list of the top ten most perfect inventions ever.  Seriously, right up there with the telephone and sliced bread.

I saw these today on Pinterest while I was waiting at the car wash for my car to be finished (entirely different story there).  Even with three televisions broadcasting the 2012 Olympics from London and one showing whatever crime drama shows at 10 AM on A&E, I still decided Pinterest was a much better use of my time.

From The Mother:

This one was awesome for me.  Why?  Because it's one that kept all five kids busy for a very long period of time, and I got to sit in the other room blissfully unaware of what was going on.

Terrible for me to think that way?

Nope.

Indoor Campfire S'mores Cones

From The Mother:

Nom. Nom. Nom.

I mean, um...

Nom. Nom. Nom.

Honestly I didn't think these things would be as tasty as they are.  The original pinner made these outside on a barbeque grill.  I didn't want to do that.  Two reasons: 1) It's like ninety five bagillion degrees outside and 2) Fire and I are not friends.  Instead we made ours inside, in the oven.

3d Hand Art

Original Pin HERE.

From the Mother:

I remember when I was in kindergarten, the teacher had us make plaster of Paris hand prints which she somehow magically turned into 3D art which we gave to our mothers for Mother's day.  I actually still have mine.

I remember how thrilled she was to get it, and how she compared her hand with mine and told me how special it was.  I remember the day she gave it back, after I had my first baby girl...
