Random

Yes it’s time for another random post to fit in little bits from here and there.

My tomatoes from the Spring went from this to this…

I used my own onions and garlic from the garden as well.  Only one jalepeno pepper made it in, the rest had to be bought at the store.  I had a really hard time with my peppers this year. :(

Besides canning, Fall is also the time of year that Grandma Charla gets monarch caterpillars for us.  It is so fun to watch the different stages…

Also, it’s this time of year that I start thinking and working on Christmas gifts.  Some of the homemade ones take a while and the sooner I get on it the better.  I’m thinking about these for my reader kids.  Their nightstands are always piled so high with books that they can’t put anything else on them.  I found it on Pinterest, which linked it over to “One More Moore”.  I will make it to fit in between the mattress and boxspring.  I don’t know why it’s pictured under the pillows.  We have a remote control bag that hangs from our bed that sticks in between the mattress and springs.

I’m also trying to get a few more recipes typed and printed up to add to the older girls recipe books for Christmas.   I posted about them HERE.  It has been fun to see the recipes that they copy and add in their books.image

Speaking of recipes, here is an oldie but goodie.  My roommate, April at BYU would make it and gave me the recipe.  My family LOVES this for breakfast!

LOVE the book holder for the bed. All of my kids are total readers (we don't have TV), so I could make 5 of those and they'd love it!
Thanks for the idea!
We are also making salsa...and my eyes are currently burning from cutting 6 onions! ; )
