Got it Done

 This batch of apple butter was 14 pints. I was very pleased with it. However, the next batch, I will make not quite as sweet. Although Mr. Mark LOVES it sweet. He ate a pint the first morning! Out of the jar! hahaha I also canned 4 pints of tomato juice. Thought there would be more, but that is what I got. Pleased with even that much. I am planning on making apple jelly next. Working my way down the list. Jars are on sale now with it being end of season. Now is the time to get them. Speaking of jelly. Have you heard that peanut butter is going sky high this winter? All the devastation in the southern states this year. We are going to try to stock up this week. Mr. Mark takes a lot of pb/j sandwiches in his lunchbox. Either for a snack or breakfast or lunch.

 This is a more girly monkey love hat.

Just two more of my hats. Screaming pink (and dark chocolate brown) huh? 

 Mark, Shayla and Toby at Mark's birthday party. Doesn't Shayla look festive. Our mom got the little girl's these flower leis to play with. Shayla LOVED hers! Said they made her feel fancy. It was so sweet. Except she took me to stop doing the hula dance. It was creepy!! That was hilarious. Me doing it and her saying that! Love that girl.

This week seems to be going fast. Hope everyone is getting to do something they love. Feed your passion my friends. Life is too short to not do something you enjoy!

I am blessed. ~Angela

Here is what has been occupying my time the past few days. As Shayla says, we play hard and "tiss" alot. LOL What gets better than playing and kissing? Nothing! Especially with a comical lil 4 year old. Here she is wearing the hat Michelle crocheted her. She loved it and wore it later after her bath in her footie pjs. Should have gotten a pic of that too. LOL I insisted it come off for the bath with the promise of a quick return.The layered look is still in I hope. Cause we pile the clothes on here. She came in a thin shirt and I pulled a fleece sweatshirt out to cozy her up. The outfit in the last pic was taken before the hoodie got added. She was too impatient to get her pic taken with her Uncle Markie before he left and I got twitterpated and didnt get it right on her.
