Weekend Fun: Challah, Studying, and Family

I liked reading everyone’s answers to the questions in my last post! Also, thank you to each and every person who checked in on Sadie and me. We still have the sniffles, but we’re doing just fine! 

Jimmy slept over my brother-in-law’s house on Friday so Sadie, Niva, and I had a girls’ night in the yard with a sticker book, coloring pages, and a blanket.

I got some Bible studying in, too. I spent a bit of time in James 1 and wrote out some notes. James is one of those books I can read over and over again and learn something new each time.

On Saturday, Jimmy did some church work at a member’s house and Sadie and I baked a loaf of challah together. It had been a while since I braided some bread

We brought the challah to Jimmy’s aunt and uncle’s house and met my sister and her husband there for dinner.

We had such a fun night with Jimmy’s aunt and uncle, cousins, second cousins, and my sister’s family. Sadie and Caroline were in heaven running around the house, climbing everything, and playing with new-to-them toys. 

Jimmy’s aunt made homemade applesauce to go with our dinner and it was delicious. Our light eater (ahem, Sadie Mae…) housed a few servings of it! I guess I need to try my hand at making homemade applesauce. I also worked on a sewing project with the help of Jimmy’s aunt. Can’t wait to show how it turns out… if I don’t mess it up, lol.

My sister recently had her hair cut short and I looooooooove it!

 

I plopped on the couch to snuggle with Niva as soon as we got home. She only chewed a water bottle and box of tissues while we were gone. Not too shabby for our food monger husky 😉

Jimmy and I watched an episode of the TV show Alone that’s on the History channel before we went to bed. Have you heard of it?

Ten men go into the wilderness alone with ten items and they see who lasts the longest. I don’t think I would last more than a few hours for fear of the dangerous wild animals… and lack of peanut butter 😉

How To Make Your House Smell Horrible

Here’s my step-by-step guide to making your entire house smell really bad!

Step one: Obtain a plastic cupcake carrier and bake some cupcakes. The photo below is my carrier of choice.

Step two: Share your cupcakes with family. Bring the carrier home and be too lazy to wash frosting residue off it right away.

Step three: Leave the carrier out until your food monger Siberian Husky starts to lick it in the middle of the night.

Step four: Hide the cupcake carrier in the oven from said food monger.

Step five: Forget about the cupcake carrier. A few days later, preheat your oven to 400 degrees.

Step six: About thirty minutes after turning your oven on, realize that you smell something. Remember that you left the cupcake carrier in the oven. Have a look in the oven. A puff of smoke should greet you.

Step seven: Realize the cupcake carrier is melted and savor the horrible aroma within your home for a few hours. It should induce a whopper of a headache.

Step eight: Spend $77 on new oven racks.

Step nine: Vow to always wash the dishes before bed.
