Cliché Mormon Mommy Day

Dear Elder Sullivan from the Cannery (we're old friends now) called to let me know that I could come and get the other canning machine. "Salt Lake" forgot to send the replacement rollers for the other machine (aka the one I broke), so I got to jump back to the top of the waiting list for the other one...which is nicer and newer, might I add.

I spent the day of laundry, canning and taking care of/ignoring my child just a bloggin' in my head...it was all very entertaining and witty, I assure you.

Too bad I can't remember any of it.

But here's the highlights:


Dallin mountain climbing on cans and boxes....he discovered if he stood on a certain set of boxes, he had access to three different light switches....oh, the power!



There it is........

This is representative of the mess that was my entire 1,100 square feet. Seriously. And it looked much worse than this.

Dal had Mac and Cheese for lunch. Yum. He loved it. And totally stained his onesie.


So he got to run around in his diaper for awhile ('cause it's not winter or anything), until I smelled something funny and saw poop literally fall out of his diaper. Made me wonder where else it might have been around the house....and then I found it. Smeared all over the seat of his little riding car.

Yea, MEMORIES!

Oh, the memories...I canned peaches/pears/etc. when we lived in Seattle and Heather was 6 months old...I had to put her in the swing, cranked it up (in the olden days you had to manually wind up the swing) and it would swing for 20 minutes, the minute it stopped, Heather woke up. I had to rinse the peach juice off my hands, wind the swing back up and talk her back to sleep, for a whole 20 minutes more...oh, the days of canning. I decided that when the earthquake hits SLC all my glass canning bottles would fall off the shelves, so I justified not canning anymore and simply bought canned goods (I know, they don't taste as good) because the cans will only get dented...sounded good to me
