Three

Yesterday I got some crock pot apple butter started and today when I woke up it smelled like HEAVEN!!! Kids were up around 7, and I had it all jarred up by about 8:30.

The girls and I headed off to a birthday party for the good part of the day after that. They played,  ate pizza, swam, and then we did a little shopping. It was a beautiful day here today. Around 45° and the sun was shining. Perfect winter day here!

January 2nd and things are already breaking left and right. First the ignitor on my stove,  and today the button that closes the door on my van. Sweeeeeet. Not.

Kids didn't nap so everyone was cranky by 7pm but hopefully that means they will fall asleep fast.

Brian is off of work another week or so, so I'm trying to build up my jam inventory while he's home. Today was Cowboy Candy ( Candied Jalapeños ) and now my kitchen is all spicy and sticky. Oh joy. And did I mention  the dishwasher  broke too?

Lazy day today. Nothing out of the ordinary. Kids destroyed the house, played on their tablets,  watched Aladdin, and saw Grandma and cousin Lena  over Skype.

I did a little sewing, sold some jam, and learned to use a food dehydrator. Guess we'll see how that turns out
