A few more from late June and early July

I finally made it to one of Sebas's baseball games.  Although when I tried to take a picture, Efraim fell over.  What the heck?  I'm cursed never to watch any of my kids' games.  Anyway, Sebas does pretty good at catcher. He got a person out.  He's really improved this year and loves baseball.  


I've been teaching sewing lessons to my friend's daughters, Bri and Sophie, so they'd have something to enter for 4H in the fair and at the wool contest.  I was supposed to be making dresses with Elena and Isabel too, but that died once we found out we were moving.  Sigh.  As a practice to sewing straight, they sewed a couple squares together each time we met and they finally finished the quilt!  It was all gifted fabric I had in my stash.  

This was the last lab we did before heading to Utah for the 4th of July.  We made these gelatinous masses (I forgot what they're called, by dripping the solution into oil.  The kids loved it.  
This is the series of books that we have. They are so excellent!



Also, just the day or two before leaving we decided to finish sewing the kids' pillowcases.  We had picked out the fabric in the spring for them, so it was totally planned, but I never thought I would be moving this summer/fall so it was all just a bit more rushed than I had figured on.  The kids sewed all the seams (I held on to Lando's and Jubal's with them).  They were so excited about them.  Elena had finished hers early this year.
