I just found a cool website so you can keep an online journal. I know that blogging is kind of like a journal, but this one is completely private, and they have a section called "About Me" where there are all sorts of questions about your family, kids, growing up, work, marriage... everything that you just type an answer for and it saves it. For me, I like this because it's easier for me to type then right, especially where I love to be on the computer anyway, it works really well, if I just type a paragraph every once in a while. You can go
HERE (ldsjournal) to check it out. Oh, and it's free... even better!
I saw this idea on a friends blog, and thought it was a great idea. We tried it the other day, and the kids loved it. Morgan did really well at helping unwrap the crayons, & Jackson was just ready to put them in the pan. First, we cut up already broken crayons in pea size pieces & divided them according to their color, then we put different colors in a muffin pan, and then we baked them for 15 minutes at 170 degrees (or you could do 150 degrees for 20 minutes) We let them cool, and then put them in the freezer and then they popped out and the kids had fun little circle shaped crayons. The only thing I don't like about this activity is you kind of have to scratch the leftover ring from the crayon off in the muffin pan, 
but the kids loved
coloring with them. (I couldn't get this picture to flip) :)
