Hubby and Me

Making some strawberry soap last night! Hubby did most of the work cuz I was exhausted. Finished up the last of the baby blankets too...whew! Now I need to do baby booties and I'll be finished with the set for the twins at Hubby's work!

Cuttin' the Soap!

Guess what? I waited the whole 24hrs. and didn't peek! Nell said it was ok too and I still didn't! Aren't you all so proud of me! It smells soooo good too. Now we have to wait and let it sit for three weeks! Going to order some more stuff so we can make more...hey Nell where do you order your stuff from?

Had a real busy day yesterday....cleaned all the bathrooms; ironed for about an hour; watered all the plants/trees which took about an hour; and had a bake - a - long with Jennifer. So used to calling her Florida Jen but she is now a California Jen! She had a great recipe for butterscotch pumpkin cookies but I didn't have the butterscotch morsels. Next time.... I did make my pumpkin chocolate chip cookies though....mmmmmm! She also sent me some great recipe links and going to try some of the crockpot ones this week! Since she knows I'm also having a vampire addiction she told me about some great books...put them on my wish list for Christmas and hinted big time to hubby:)! So funny, because we were watching Forgetting Sarah Marshall and the main actor dude does a whole musical play with vampire puppets in it and my hubby can sound just like it...he even has it memorized! Its hilarious! I should record him!:) He told me he was giving me my vampire fix for the weekend! Yes, we're easily entertained! Also watched Kung Fu Panda which was really good and War, Inc. which was kind of sucky!

Hope you all had a great weekend!
