Pinterest Project: Rainbow Jello Ring

So Pinterest is the the new big thing. I held out on joining for a long time, and then my curiosity (and boredom one night) got the best of me. So I took the plunge and I'm in. I can honestly say that I am not addicted like I thought I would be, but I'm really glad I joined. There are some of the best and coolest ideas ever! As I'm browsing through them all, pinning this and pinning that, I'm thinking to myself, 'Now if I can just get around to trying any of these.'

Well, I'm happy to say that I've actually tried two of them so far, and Josh is supposed to be getting the materials for a third. The first was this popcorn. I made it with pink, red and white heart sprinkles for Valentine's Day. I tied up individual baggies for Bennett to give out to his classmates.  (It is soooooo good, by the way.)

The next project I wanted to do was these Jello Easter eggs. I ordered the mold and everything (you can get it here for free until April 8th; just pay $2.95 shipping). I decided to wait until closer to Easter to do the actual eggs, but last night Bennett and I created a cool Rainbow Jello Ring using the same idea. The colors are way off (we had a mishap with the purple, the yellow wouldn't fit in the mold, and I didn't think to get blue when I was buying the jello), so it's not really a rainbow. We'll do better next time.

But I had to share with you this video of Bennett stirring our jello. He has a bit of a habit when he concentrates on things like stirring jello. I was using my parents' camera, and for some reason it doesn't record sound.  Oh well.  You don't need sound to enjoy his little habit.

Here's our jello mold.  The boys loved it.
