I had a thought the other day - "I think I'll take Caleb outside to play while I start raking up the leaves" bad thought. He was ZERO help, but very cute. He would fall into the leaves, throw them over his head & take handfuls from one pile to the other . . . back & forth, back & forth, back & forth. I didn't get a lot accomplished, but it was a good time.

He LOVES to swing. He got the swing for Easter & acted like it was a torture chamber whenever we'd try to put him in it & now he can't get enough of it! He'll go up to it and say "wheeee, wheeee, wheeeee" which I've figured out means "Swing me NOW!" He'll also grab a blanket when we're inside & bring it over & say "wheeee, wheeee, wheeee" meaning that he wants to swing in it. Cute stuff.

I went to my mother-in-laws relief society enrichment night last night & learned how to make the cute watch bands that you see everywhere. I LOVE IT! One thing on my body that is small is my wrists & most of the watch bands you can buy are to big for me & my watch face ends up on the underside of my wrist getting all scratched up. Now I can make them to fit just me!! Here are a few that I've cranked out already. I think I've found a new obsession.The 2 on the ends look like they are far apart, but when you stretch it over your wrist, they lay just perfect :)

I am SO proud of myself. I have all of Caleb's Christmas & birthday presents bought & wrapped & waiting for the moment! I figure this way by the time the occasions come I will have forgotten what I wrapped so it will be a surprise for me also!
