Kelly & I thought today would be a laid-back day but we ended up being busy all morning! We lazed around in our beds until almost 8am – but we both needed a little down time. After breakfast she got a txt from her friend Trent, who wanted to purchase a raffle ticket for a gun. It’s to support the 4-H Shooting Sports club that Kelly helps sponsor. So we drove (through the rain) up to his workplace and handled that.

While we were out, Kelly popped into Aldi and got a few bags of chocolate chips. She is the official cookie baker on request, and she gets a lot of requests! The recipe she has calls for milk chocolate chips, and I only buy semi-sweet. I think she bought 8 bags! That’s a lot of cookies!

How do they compare to Hershey or Toll House chocolate chips : r/aldi

So we came home, fed the boys, then mixed up a batch of cookies. There is a 4-H meeting that she promised to take cookies to. The recipe makes a LOT of cookies! In between making the cookies we washed several loads of clothes and she packed up her carry bags and got the car partly loaded. We fed the boys again, she had some leftovers, and the last cookies came out of the oven just as they had to leave. Logan had class and they had to be in Washington at 2:30pm.

And she took every last one of them with her!!!

After they left I grabbed food, then started in cleaning the house. Even though it was later than I normally start, I kept at it until I finished. Washed more clothes, took the trash up to the road, and that, my friends, was my day! Now to relax and read a bit.

As for yesterday, here are some pictures from our craziness. When we were at Joanne Fabrics I was looking at the holiday material. The Easter choices made me want to buy something – but I didn’t really have anything I wanted to sew right now. Kelly asked for new rice bags, as did Autmn, so I see that in my future!

After we picked Chris up and took her home, we came back here and fed the boys (we do that a lot!) Noah dropped Autmn and Cameron off here at the house as I was leaving for my dermatologist appointment (which turned out just fine). We played with Cameron for a while. He likes sitting in his new seat, and is fascinated with his little elephant. He sat on my lap and watched Mickie Mouse Clubhouse for a while on Kelly’s phone.

Kelly took charge and got him to take a little nap – he snuggled up to the cow pillow and took a nice rest. See how he’s holding the cow’s ‘hand’? While he was sleeping the girls popped over and the house got pretty busy with the them here and the two boys playing their video games.

Another afternoon project was pretzel bites which Kelly made from sourdough starter. They were a lot of work but wow were they yummy! She made two huge trays of cinnamon bites and we ate every last one!

Kelly’s sourdough starter – she had to FEED it!!!

I went outside for something and realized that I had three more crocuses blooming.

Look at the purple veins…
Darker purple is my favorite

When Cameron woke up he fed himself a bottle while Kelly and Autmn cut out letters for my Sunday School bulletin board. So that’s done for Sunday. It’s now 10:30pm and I’m glad to be done with everything!

Fairly obvious, but answers tomorrow

PEANUTS Thought for the Day:

TOMORROW March 7th is:

Alexander Graham Bell Day; National Shoestring Day; Nametag Day; National Be Heard Day; National Cereal Day; National Flapjack Day; Sock Monkey Day.

I have a sock monkey! Either my mom or grama made it. I’ve had it forever. Yesterday’s fake holiday was National Buy a New Car Day. Don’t forget to try and guess today’s fake! God bless…
