Dexter's First Day Of Kindergarten

Yesterday Dexter had his first day of Kindergarten.  He started the day off with his "first day of school" cereal that I let him pick out.  He chose fruity bunnies!  He was excited.  At 7:50 he said he was going to go wait in the car.  We told him he could relax for about 10 more minutes.  He decided to wear his new ironman shirt that Gramma Torrey gave him.  Here are some cute pictures of his morning.  

over already?  Dex said it felt like he was only in school for 45 minutes!

making apple butter

These pictures do not do apple butter any justice!  It is sooooo good.  Torrey taught me how to make apple butter on wednesday and yesterday I canned them!  It was fun.  We picked the apples off our tree in our yard, cut and boiled the apples, strained them, added spices and sugar, and cooked them in a crock pot over night.  After that they were ready to be canned.  

My very first canning experience!
