Do I ever slow down?

NOPE!! I probably should but I don't :) My friend Kalynne gave us a ton of apricots so today my friend Nancy and I canned 21 pints of apricot jam....

and put cucumbers in brine to make pickles! AND tomorrow I'm getting more apricots so I can dry some...YUMMO!!

Now we didn't just do this today, nope, that would be too easy ;) Today we also watched another friends 3 children for 2 hours and of course took care of my two kiddos. What a totally exhausting day...and did I mention it was 96 degrees outside...yep...we're AwEsOmE!!

I canned 7 pints and 7 quarts of cherries yesterday while watching two neighbor kids from 9:30 to 4:30! (Granted, they were 8 and 11, so they practically watched themselves and MY kids!) I'm impressed with the jam. My goal this summer was to learn to make jam and then I missed the Relief Society jam-making class! Now I gotta figure it out on my own.
