Two down...almost!

I can't believe that next week will be my final week of my first two classes with University of Phoenix!!  I am so excited to almost have two classes under my belt.  Of course, no break in between these two and my next two. I'll be taking classes back to back for the next 3 1/2 years to get my Bachelor's in Elementary Education!  I took advantage of the grant money from the military for military spouses but they just put that program on hold while they reevaluate it.  Thank goodness I also received a Pell Grant and can use that to pay for my next couple of classes.  Hopefully I won't lose the money I already got from the military and will be able to use that later.  It's been pretty crazy and I'm sure I'll eventually get used to the late nights and early morning schedule but for now I'm just happy to almost be done with my first two college classes!!  Woot woot!!

Activity Day crafts

For those that didn't know, I am the Activity Day Leader for our ward. What a fun calling!! I've been in there for about 9 months now. Here are just a couple of the fun crafty things we've done. Both were a big hit and it's really neat to see the girls carrying their journal purses around at church.

Ebelskivers

Sarah had to do a Heritage Project for school back in December. We chose to do it on Denmark. My mom's fathers' family was from Denmark. In our research we found that ebelskivers are a Danish pancake. Tradition says that when the vikings would come back from battle they would use their dented shields to cook the pancakes on and this is why they are round. When I told my mom about them she said that she remembered her grandma making them. For my birthday, my mom got me an ebelskiver pan!! =) I was so excited...I know, it's just a pan, but I wanted to start making these and carry on a forgotten tradition. We like them best with jam in the middle and of course powdered sugar on top! =) They are yummy little pancake balls =)
