Niva

I figured out what to do with the jalapeños we got from people in our neighborhood! I made bacon-wrapped, stuffed jalapeños thanks to Amy’s idea 🙂

I just sliced the fresh jalapeños in half, stuffed them with cream cheese, wrapped them in bacon, topped them with brown sugar, and baked them at 375 degrees for 30 minutes.

Sadie and I had a sticker party the other day. Jimmy was out running an errand and I needed to do some cooking so I just pulled her chair and booster seat up to the kitchen counter and gave her some stickers while I chopped vegetables for a pot of bean soup.

She thought it was pretty neat to put stickers all over us.

While Jimmy was out running his errand, Niva decided to jump on our back storm door and break through the glass.

We have so many funny stories with that storm door, like when Jimmy accidentally punched through it because of Lola, Niva cracked the top pane recently, and then we just lost another to her jumping habit.

My first thought? Well, that’s one less pane of glass to clean! 🙂

The garden has been giving us lots of yellow squash, zucchini, and arugula lately.

I got a cupcake order for our cousin Leia’s fourth birthday! I feel like I was just baking cupcakes for her first birthday. Crazy!

I had some cupcakes leftover, so I delivered a few boxes to our neighbors!

I took Niva to the vet for her shots and they did curbside pick-up, so Sadie and I had to wait in the car while she was getting her shots and checkup.

Sadie got bored pretty fast, so I decided to take her outside to walk around and realized I didn’t put shoes on her before we left.

Oh well! Sometimes you just have to go barefoot and pick flowers while you wait for your dog to get shots because you can’t go into the vet’s office. This is 2020!

Have you had an “this is 2020” moments lately?

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 😉
