OCEAN SCHOOL- Weston still has one more year until kindergarten (he turns 5 in December) so this year we decided to do Ocean school and learn about all the animals in the ocean. We also have passes to the aquarium, remember? Our neighbor, Jacob, comes over to learn with us too. So far, we've talked about sharks, dolphins, whales, octopus, crabs and this week is lobsters and crabs.
This was our octopus day, of course! Actually, octopus are the coolest animal so far- who knew they can change shapes, textures, colors and even imitate snakes and sting rays!
YOUNG WOMEN
Of course these girls keep me busy with activites, lessons and worries, but we certainly have fun! This was our photography night with Sis. Hunsaker... Cute girls!
SEWING PROJECTS
Sometimes I just get the urge to sew, so I do... This is an apron for my niece for her birthday, complete with her own bowl and spatula.
This is my Apron of Pride and Joy I made for my sister in law who just got put in as the "Relief Society Meeting specialist" aka 'homemaking' so of course she needs a cute apron to wear!
BOWS
A while back, Kristi and figured out how to make these, so I made a bunch. Now I look at them and think 'NOT cute.' So I made a bunch of cute ones to use for birthdays for my Young Women. I even made Afton a bee one for her Halloween costume! Yay!
BOTTLING FRUIT

So last year, I did tons of this. This year, not so much. BUT, two bottles of apricots, three bottles of peaches and fifteen bottles of pears (so far) isn't so bad for getting the fruit for free and having a little baby, right? Next is plum juice from Zach's grandma and grape juice from our vine... I just love filling up my pantry!
Well, I guess this is just a sample of the fun things I like to do... Stay tuned for more!

READ
Sorry, no picture. But, Cindy just got me started on the Alex Rider books, I just finished the Hunger Games, and I'm reading "How to Be a Pirate" to the boys. I like this down time when I can fit it in!
