Jelly and VBS

cooking canning and baking, family, house stuff

Well, yesterday I spent about 4 hours making some jams and jellies. I got 12 jars of rhubarb jelly and 6 jars of strawberry rhubarb jam done. Needless to say, I think my energy is coming back as we’re entering the second trimester!

This morning Knut was working on some projects around the house, including putting the finishing touches on the platform he built for me for our washer and dryer. (Last year we bought a front load washer. Let me tell those of you with a top load, it is great to prop it up so you’re not bending all the time! They sell them for like $500, but Knut made me this little one with his own 2 hands!) The kids saw his tools, and David immediately grabbed his hammer to help. Silje wasn’t about to be shown up by her little brother, and offered to help as well. I’m sure he couldn’t have gotten it done without them!

Sorry, but for some reason these posted sideways, even though they are correct on the file.

Today we also got to see Silje’s program at the end of her VBS week. She sure had fun up on stage! She was dancing, and swinging those hips and whipping her hair around…even when those weren’t the actions! We had a good time seeing it. (Knut and his mom came to see it too.)
