Hand Dipped Candles
What better activity for two squirmy little boys than standing still over a hot stove repeatedly dipping a wick hundreds of times into scalding wax and ice baths?
I have to say "just kidding" for liability reasons. But honestly, I'm still in shock about the complete lack of third degree burns.
Was it worth the endless hours of scraping flecks of rainbow wax off every horizontal surface of my kitchen? Hard to say, but I do love how they turned out looking like part of an LGBTQIA+ Dr Seuss crossover decor line.
The girls also made a sort of advent wreath out of them. We personally loved their choice to put the big old rainbow candle in the center. 

Kenton was able to put them to good use by living out yet another one of his decade old bucket list dreams:
 eating a homemade medieval perpetual stew by candlelight.
