Eat, Read, and Be Mommy

I’m not feeling too guilty about missing on the 22nd, because I ended up taking the kiddos to Clearfield to see my two nieces in “Seussical Jr.”, and they were in two separate shows. They were fabulous, honestly–it was a pleasure to see them. Unfortunately, I didn’t actually process the fact that it was going to be outside, so I was doubly grateful that my sister-in-law had sunscreen with her. (I also took my littles off to the side after intermission, because I’d rather sit on concrete in the shade than on a bench in the sun. I really loathe the sun.) We roasted during the 2:00 show and then I was grateful to borrow a jacket from my mother-in-law for the 7:00, since the sun had disappeared. Such is life! Between the songs stuck in MY head and the ones my 11-year-old has been singing and finding on YouTube, we’re going to be remembering the experience for quite some time.

Anyway. Today I made jam, because NPS had 2 lb packages of nice-looking strawberries for $1.50 apiece, which is unreal. (Especially for this year. I haven’t even seen strawberries below $2/lb before this past weekend, and that’s unusual.) Tomorrow? Perhaps I’ll buy ricotta and there will be strawberry ricotta muffins! In the meantime, I’m poopered. Goodnight all!
