Okay, I was trying to keep this a secret but the cat is out of the bag. I bought a new camera for an early birthday present, I had too! Really, I am going to be published in a book coming out next year and needed a better camera for documenting. The book is called "My Kids with My Crafts", I will give more info on that later. What I really want to talk about is my new camera, I LOVE it! Its a Sony Cyber-Shot H50 with 9.1 mega pixels, huge step up from what I was using. Although, I believe the camera is only part of the "good shot", it is more about the eye that sees the shot. So, with that being said, these pictures were taken at night with a special "night vision" feature on my new camera. The image is very alien-ish, pretty cool.

Recycled Crayon Leaves
I saw this project on another blog recently and thought it would be fun. The kiddos loved the grated crayons and couldn't keep their hands out of it. They had alot of fun watching the crayons melt under the warm iron. I decided to try this project at school with my sons Kindergarten class..... things were a bit messy but all in all everyone had fun with the project.
Project: Recycled crayon leaf
Grated crayons, I melted mine by color so they were a large chunk, then grated.
wax paper
scissors
black construction paper
iron, towel
Cut the leaf shape out of the black paper, two sheets together. Then sprinkle the grated crayon on the wax paper, place another wax sheet on top and iron. Then sandwich the wax paper with melted crayons in between the black construction paper. If you hang in a window then you get a beautiful transparency like stained glass.

A Little Man and His Little Green
At the end of the summer Mike put a putting green in for K. It is in the front yard with a cup and a little flag. I made the flag with the request of a K on it. The green is so small we have to cut it with shears, we all take turns so it doesn't take too long. It has become a destination spot in the front yard, sometimes the kids take their little red chairs up there and just sit and put their feet on it. Next? Well, I guess we need a tiny bunker!
