Homemade Butter

So today we made homemade butter!!  Why did we make homemade butter?  Well, it was part of Sophie's lessons today in school.  We did this by filling a small jar 3/4 full of heavy cream and then we started shaking...for 20 minutes.  It was sooooo cool to make butter and this activity has stirred something in me.  I have a big desire to grow fruits and vegetables, to have some chickens for eggs, to make my own butter and other things.  Chris things I am crazy, but that isn't really anything new! :) 

Here are some pictures of our butter making time:
