I had a really good day, and I’m feeling pretty satisfied with my accomplishments. I started off the day by getting up and going to the gym. Usually, if I can make it there on a Monday morning, the rest of the week is looking good.
While Karis took her morning nap Abbie and I went outside to find the prettiest leaves we could, and then I ironed them in wax paper and cut them out. She had so much fun taping them to the windows, and now our house looks even more autumn-festive!
I’ll be going to my second MOPS meeting on Wednesday. The leader told all the moms to have their kids bring in pictures of animals for the next meeting because the teachers would be talking about creation. Since I was on a craft kick this morning I decided to have Abbie look through magazines to find pictures of animals. I then cut them out and she taped them to a sheet of purple construction paper, one at a time. I was impressed that she spaced the pictures out over the page—no overlapping at all! I could tell she was proud of her work; I hung it up on the fridge to show it off (and so I won’t forget it on Wednesday!).
After Karis woke up, off we went to the post office to mail my mom’s camera back to her and then to a hardware store to buy more canning jars. My mom and I made apple butter this past weekend, but definitely did not have enough jars! We came home, ate lunch, then the girls ACTUALLY TOOK NAPS. I could hardly believe it!
So while they slept, I canned the rest of the apple butter. This was the first time I’ve attempted canning on my own, and it turned out perfectly.
I had a really good day :-)
