#1...We bought Owen a bed. John decided that he'd had enough of Owen sleeping on the floor and insisted we buy our son a mattress. I don't see what the big deal was, don't lots of kids have cute little beds like this on the floor?
I guess things were getting pretty bad. Bad enough that he refused to sleep in his crib at all. He wouldn't take a nap in his crib. One night when we had put him back in his crib after he had fallen asleep, he woke up at 1:30 demanding to be put back on the floor. This morning we found him sleeping UNDER his crib in the little drawer for his blankets. I can only imagine how uncomfortably he slept last night.
So, we did some shopping around and Owen is now sleeping in a big boy bed. Although he currently only has a big boy mattress (I'm headed out tomorrow to pick up a bunk board and a bed frame).
#2...I got our first batch of salsa made! Our garden provided a lot of what we needed.
Ains was a great help with the chopper.
She thought I looked funny in my salsa protective gear (I have a really hard time with chopping large quantaties of onions).
She also thought it was funny that I put baggies over my hands when I chopped and seeded the jalepenos. What can I say, salsa making is a pretty dangerous job.
We boiled.
We bottled, and now the salsa is done (unless I decide to do another batch).
#3...I finished Breaking Dawn. I'm still not sure how I liked it. It was a bit of a let down. What were your thoughts?
OK, first - look at you being all industrious and making salsa. Second, Breaking Dawn - I was Ok with the book, but I am a Jacob fan, so my biggest complaint is she took his character from being his huge, hot blooded rival for Edward and turned him into, pardon the pun, a lap dog. I guess I'm glad he can be happy, but I would have liked some more tension there like in the previous books!
ReplyDeleteWow....look at you being all sexy in those great goggles!! :) That is awesome you made salsa...I should do that!
ReplyDeleteI loved the book...I loved how it started and how it ended!
That salsa looks so good! I'm with Sheri...I've always been a Jacob fan and it was just too weird/easy having him be in love with the vampire baby instead of Bella. The honeymoon just kept going and going and I got really bored and the end was totally anticlimactic (look at me using big English major words) and nothing ever really happened. But overall, I liked it okay.
ReplyDeleteI was afraid to admit my disappointment with the book until now. I still liked it quite a bit, but was hoping for more. Love the Salsa set up!!! I'll have to try goggles tomorrow.
