My Monday

Lisa texted me this morning at 7am asking if she could pick up Joanna at 7:30, bring her along to the vet in town to drop off Junior, then take the big girls to school.

Ummm… okay!

So I think that was fun for Joanna, and it did the very important task of reminding me that Joanna had school today.  I think I’m still not used to school on Mondays.  I was planning to take James for his well-check lab work while my mom watched the girls.  Glad I wasn’t in the middle of that and remember that I usually pick up Anna and take the big girls to school on Mondays.

Anyway, James was up super early this morning, so I let him have an early morning nap before I took him to the lab.  My mom came over and watched Natalie and then also Ray for a few minutes until I got back.  James did so good getting his blood drawn!  He sure didn’t like it, but I was so proud of him.

I snapped a couple pictures of his bandage before we got in the car.  It was in shreds on the seat before we got home!

In other news…

I can’t believe I didn’t take a single picture (though I still can of the finished product I suppose) of the apple butter I made today!  I’ve never made or even eaten apple butter, but I really wanted to try it out!  I cooked three quarts of applesauce yesterday, and put it in the crockpot this morning to cook down all day.  It didn’t get as thick and reduce as much as I thought in my head it would, but it is very tasty!  I served some at home group this evening, and several people either lied to me or also believe it’s good!  I put it in little jars which I’ll freeze since I didn’t feel like processing them in the canner.  I spread some fresh, warm apple butter on a slice of warm fresh bread.  Mmmmmmmm…

And now I’m going to bed.  James has been getting up soooo early, and I need my beauty rest!
