Uncle Z and Lei caught a Brown Anole. He was pretty squirmy so we let him loose pretty quickly, but not before snapping these 2 pics...and him snapping at Uncle Z's finger :)
You would think this was some sort of punishment. Maybe the boys misbehaved, and i sent them to go pick up rocks in a bucket.
Nope, not these boys! Picking up rocks and collecting them in a bucket is FUN stuff! And, hard work...that bucket was heavy!
He's ordering another Veggie Tale Movie & Veggie Tale Bible :)

Since we unschool/relax homeschool, we do a lot of baking! Lei sure knows his way with a ring of measuring spoons. He can pick out a tablespoon from a teaspoon, and a 1/4 from 1/2.
Yes, baking is fractions at it's best. What better way to learn than by figuring out 3/4's of a banana?!
Today we made some applesauce. My house smelled so good!
Ingredients:
4 medium apples (gala work best, i used a mix of gala and regular reds) Peel and chop into 1/2 inch pieces.
3/4c. water
1/2 tsp lemon juice
1/2 tsp cinnamon
pinch of salt
1tsp brown sugar (optional)
Directions:
Mix water, lemon juice, cinnamon, salt and brown sugar in a medium pot, over medium heat. Add apples, and bring to a boil. Boil for about 15-20 minutes until apples are soft and easily pierced with a fork. Blend. I used a hand stick blender, so i'm not sure how any other blender would work. (If you try this recipe with another blender please let me know how it turned out!)
Serve immediately if you want it warm, or refrigerate for an hour or two to serve cold.
I didn't get any pics of the process :(
Next time!
