We did some canning

We have been doing www.bountifulbaskets.org for a couple of weeks now. We got so many tomatoes the first week we didn't know what to do with all of them, so we did some canning. We made stewed tomatoes and 1 can jar of salsa. Yippie for not wasting all those tomatoes. We did Italian and garlic. We got 4 jars of tomatoes. I need to buy more jars now so I can do the rest of the tomatoes.

SNOW DAY!!

Today we have a snow day. How nice. yesterday we got so much snow. I had to shovel the driveway 5 times. My arm hurts so bad today. :(. I have a thermacare heat wrap on it now and its still not feeling better. Anyway, the girls have a snow day and this morning a friend called and invited us to go sledding. What a challenge that was just getting there. First of all, Idaho does not plow or salt roads like they do in Utah. 3 winters here in Idaho and and I am still complaning. I really should have thought about that before I said I would go. Well I didn't think of that and I said sure, I will meet you. Well I only got stuck about 3 times. I was able to get out of them myself but I was so stressed. We finally got parked and went through the woods and went sledding for an hour. Here are some pictures:

Dinner January 9th-Feb 9th

So, I am going to try and meal plan by month this year. I only did main meals and we will be doing Bountiful Baskets this year too. We are going to try and eat healthier this year and Bountiful Baskets is a great way to start. IF you have never heard of Bountiful Baskets, you get about 50.00 worth of fresh fruit and veggies for only 15.00 a week. I have been wanting to do it for a long time and a friend at work does it and she loves it. So I signed up today. Can't wait till Saturday to see what we got. Anyway, here is the meals we are eating.

I hope planning by the month helps me. We will see. At least I have the menu and I have the shopping list and can buy things as they go on sale.

"Locker"

So this is it. The color is so not something I would normally have picked out but I am glad I did. It was a mistint at Lowes so I got a gallon of primer and paint for only 5.00 And I am liking the color more. Its a fun color for all the darkness of our house. At first I just wanted to go with a brown to match but it would have made our dark enrty way even darker I think.
I just need to get a few more hooks for the other sections but its still usable until I get them.

birthday

tomorrow its my birthday, i feel old. Danny got me a laptop for my birthday. And he built me the storage locker things i have been wanting for a very long time. It turned out fantastic. I will post pictures soon. As soon as I figure out how to put pictures on my laptop. It probably isn't that hard.
For Christmas we bought a nice camera. ya know the one you can change lens with. I like it ok. some of the pictures look like they have an orange tint to them. Danny can't see them but I can. He likes the camera alot and so I guess we will keep it.
