Just call me a Domestic Diva!

Okay, don't really. Most stay at home moms do this stuff all the time. However, for me this was a first. Maybe its just cause I'm finally getting use to being home all day. And McKinley is in school some days, so it leaves me a bit more free time.
Anyway, yesterday I made home made wheat bread, and it actually turned out good! I also made potato soup, which is nothing new, but in combination with the bread, I thought it was pretty tricky! I also went grocery shopping yesterday. Monday I made a batch of salsa, and today I made another. We got a ton of tomatoes from our friends in Logan. Fresh salsa is so yummy!! I've also figured out what time I need to start dinner so its ready when Matthew gets home from work, or shortly there after. This doesn't happen every night, but it does happen occasionally. 0h-I also canned peaches and applesauce last week. That wouldn't have happened without my mother in law or sister in law, so I can't really claim that one. Needless to say, I'm feeling slightly better about my homemaking skills. Mostly the bread! I'm so excited that the bread worked! (Maybe that's just cause I recently invested in 50 lbs of wheat flour!!)

So, I had the insane desire to make McKinley have curly hair. I cut rags and rag tied her hair. This was the result!

The curls were so tight that it was a lot of frizz and very little curl. So, I invested in sponge curlers as she really likes her hair curly. The curlers work much better. She won't let me take a picture today because "the curls aren't as good as they were this morning!" That is a direct quote. They look so cute since they've relaxed after being free all day!! Oh well, maybe next time I'll get one first thing in the morning. She's so cute!!
So, reminiscent of my days in elementary school, this is what McKinley tells me about recess. "We chase the boys, or they chase us. And we have to scare them. I'm a snake-"hsss". I'm faster than all the boys. They can't catch me!" Already!! She's only in Kindergarten! And that "hss" is loud!! It sounds more like an angry cat! She really is faster than the boys. Love that girl!
