Jacob and Kaitlyn invented a novel way to take a spelling test yesterday.
Yesterday I worked on some more sewing projects while the kids did more spring cleaning for me. The laundry room looks TONS better; THANK YOU very much kids!!! They did it all except the bathroom ceiling which I had to do because they’re too short.
Kate did the closet mostly by herself, but Ben helped her finish up the last bit.
Josh often wakes up saying, “Eggs!” He’s also often the helper in making them :) So precious!
Trash collectors :)
Oops. Levi had a little mishap yesterday which resulted in a sprained/strained(?) ankle.
Baby zinnias. We’re enjoying watching them grow.
Another project of today – I made 16 cartons of firestarters. That’s it for this winter; we won’t save lint until our supply gets low next winter. Wax melting in boiling water just isn’t a summer project.
Kate’s good at multi-tasking.
Cold but fun.
Jacob made us a wonderful family favorite for supper tonight…fried chicken, mashed potatoes & gravy, green beans, strawberry applesauce, and deviled eggs (by Kate).
Delicious!
A recipe to remember:
Fried Chicken Coating
2 cups white flour
1 teaspoon celery salt
1 teaspoon garlic salt
1 teaspoon onion salt
1 teaspoon salt
We use some of this leftover coating mix to make the gravy, which not only smells great as it cooks but also tastes wonderful too. Jacob didn’t do the gravy completely solo tonight, but he’s well on his way to rivaling Jesse’s reputation as the best gravy maker in the house…neither Tori nor I can make gravy like Jesse can (but since he’s not on the cooking rotation anymore, our best has to suffice)(and no one complains!).
Happy cooking!
