Rainbow Crayon Disaster

Peanut's crayons kept breaking, and we also left a couple out in the sun...which reminded me of this: rainbow crayon hearts.

So, I thought I'd give it a try.

It started out pretty well...

I looked into the oven, and the meltedy bits looked so lovely and blended together.

And then I tried to take them OUT of the oven.  And with grace that only I can master, I tripped, and spilled swirly wax all over the place...'cause I'm awesome like that.

Then, in my infinite wisdom (while panicking about hot wax pouring all over the place), I set the tray on a wire rack.  Remember how the tray was made of silicone?  Did you know that silicone is NOT firm, and when hot, and full of hot wax, it can REALLY bend???  Well, it did...so, now I no longer have a useable silicone ice cube tray.

it's a little warped

But, alas, all was not lost, and I was actually able to salvage a few somewhat useable rainbow crayons...which will probably get left out in the sun to become yet another rainbow puddle (as seen above).

after all of this...peanut will probably just want to eat them anyway

The end.
