Day 17/ Food and a Great Find

To day was crazy tourist day and Water day at kids camp! They really didn't dress up just wanted to get wet. They had fun. After it was over I picked it up the kids and headed to Port of Subs. I love Port of Subs! Beats Subway hands down!!!!!!!! And I like Subway.

We then went to the grocery store and got these awesome chips. I will go through withdrawal when I come home because these are amazing.

Later, after we have been home for a while Mom wanted to go to the store. We needed to return some thing she got for Madi that didn't fit so we went out to dinner at one of my most favorite places. Sweet Tomatoes, it is a salad buffet and more. They had an amazing Chinese salad (almost like yours Kim) They have like 7 soups and Pastas and potatoes with toppings and fruit, and amazing breads. They walk around with chocolate chip cookies fresh from the oven. Oh it is awesome and we need one in Ohio.

Then we went to K-Mart and went looking around for some things. I ran into these shoes and fell in Love! I put them on and have not taken them off. They are regularly $20 but they were on sale for $10 I got the basic black.

But look at all these fabulous shoes! I think I need the gold or silver ones, What do you think?

Day 16/ challenges

So yesterday the kids started Kids Camp. A vacation bible school through my mom's church. They had a great time yesterday. Today was crazy Hair day!

Not sure what to do with Will's hair. I took some Gel and some koolaid powder and mixed it.

Can't really tell to well because his hair is so dark but it was a little red.

So, I got them all ready to go and we went out to the car and Will says the tire is flat. NOOOO, my dad is out of town, my mom is at work and it's a mile to the church. (ok .8 miles) So we started walking. I walked them to the church and then walked home. So that I didn't have to walk back in the noon heat I decided to try to change the tire. I called Mike and talked with him while I did it. I am proud of myself for being so handy. So for being here my mom's battery died and needed to be replaced, then it stopped working, but she just tightened the connections and got it working again, the tire went flat on my dads car, the spark plugs on my mom's car fell out. So my dad got three new tires and I think my mom needs a new car. I hope we can go shopping for it later this week!!!!

Day 15/ FHE Freezer Jam

So while we were out here in Vegas Madi was missing a few things back home. Her Faith in God girls group were going to be making Freezer Jam together. So tonight she made Freezer Jam.

First she smashed the strawberries.

While Will stole some to eat!
She pored in the sugar.

4 cups of sugar to 2 cups strawberries.

She stirred it all together.

I boiled the pectin. (safety first!)

Madi dried the plastic containers.

After stirring the pectin in for 3 minutes she pored it into the plastic containers.

Cover them and let them sit for 24 hours! Then we will Freeze them. After a few days we will be giving them to a neighbor with a missionary message. We have a person all picked out and are just waiting for the Jam to set!

Well, will wanted to do a batch too. So since I bought way to many strawberries to said sure why not! He had a blast!

Now for the sweet rewards!

YUMMMMMM!!!!!

When I was at my friend Carina's house she showed me something that I just had to do. Someone had made an awesome place to put hair accessories. So i made one for Madison! And I am making this for two of my people from my Pay if Forward. Not sure what to do yet for one of them but I am working on that!
