Apparently I am an Elephant!

Janey has really been using her imagination lately. It's really cute to see her develop this whole new phase of life. The other day she decided to play a game of "the tiger is coming!" The tiger was outside and was coming to get us, so we would have to run and "hide" from the tiger. Slowly the game changed to Russell being the tiger so we would run and hide from Russell (Russell thinks this is the greatest game ever!) Anyways I was at Costco the other day and Kevin was at home playing "Tiger" with the kids. When I got home he informed me that Janey had assigned each of us an animal. Russell being the tiger, Janey being the lion (her hair fits her perfectly for that part :) Kevin being the bear and you guessed it...I got to be the elephant! Apparently my child thinks I am huge!

What I've been up to

Thanks to my friend Crystal I have been inspired to start canning...so that is what I have been up to. I have canned pears , peaches, tomatoe soup (thanks Crystal for the yummy recipe) and I made some yummy peach freezer jam! In the next few days I plan to make some applesauce. I must say I feel very domestic. This is my first experience with canning and I have actually really enjoyed it. Thanks to Kevin for helping me...it has been a good experience and it feels good to get some food storage!

This is my yummy freezer jam. I don't know why but those little plastic freezer jars make me really happy...weird I know :) When I first made this jam every thing I ate was planned around it (biscuits, pancakes, toast, etc)...it is that good! Okay enough bragging, I am just really proud of myself!
