What I have been up to

Besides dealing with plumbing problems, holes in my walls, playing with the kids, teaching a pre-school, and well every day thing I've also been making costumes for our Wards roadshow. I made a Snow White costume and a Prince Charming costume (I only made the shirt and pants for the prince). I had never made anything remotely close to that before, and it was certainly a learning experience. They turned out quite well, if I do say so myself :)

I've also learned how to knit hats, and now I'm addicted. (as if I didn't have enough to do, right?) And today I started making applesauce, apple butter and pie apples with ALL of those free apples I got last week. 1 bucket down, 5 more to go...

You are going to have quite the dress up box. But I thought you were making those for the kids Halloween outfits so I was a little surprised to see adults trying them on! And I LOVE the hats. Ok, so we really need to get together so you can teach me how. I need one for Brynn.
Also, sorry I didn't come on today. No one wants to see you you show up after you say you had just thrown up the day before so I figured I'd let it all settle and make sure the kids didn't get anything. Maybe this next week.

The costumes did turn out great. And we really will take the kids when everyone is better so you can finish the patching job.
