Activities

Saturday my mom and I were finally able to plant their garden. Its taken weeks to get stuff ready but finally...plants are in the ground! YAY! I have to say that yes, I did get sunburned (apparently I don't know how not to) but not as bad as it was last time. We planted corn, tomatoes, spinach, potatoes and carrots. It was a good end to last week to be able to have stuff actually planted so it can start growing. Hopefully we will get something by the time I have to leave in August!

On sunday I made wonderfully yummy chex mix things. They are gooey and sugary and good! The recipe makes a TON, so I cut it in a third, and it still made a huge amount. We will probably be eating it all week long.
Also today I made homemade strawberry jam. I must admit that after having had homemade and store bought jam, I really do like homemade SO much more! It is just better. I also like the freezer variety better than the cooked variety...it just tastes fresher to me. So, thats what I made, homemade freezer strawberry jam. Its yummy!!
I am also a bit excited because I kind of have a job! A friend needs help babysitting this summer a few times a week for a few hours, and called me up. I told her sure and so now I am off to babysit again. It feels a little weird, like babysitting is something that highschool girls do or something, but that is alright. I am not above it and it will be nice to have something else to do. She has 4 kids, all under the age of 5 which could prove to be a challenge, but we'll see. I'm excited for it. Also I got another call this week to babysit for another lady in my ward. Wow...all at once I am a hot babysitter. Who knew?! So that will be put on my agenda for next week.This is a vinyl sticker that I put up on Saturday for my mom. It looks pretty good above her door. Just something new and fun for the house!!
