We started out this beautiful morning by going to garage sales in town. Tenino is a really small town though so we visited the only 4 in town. I was really hoping to find a twin bed because we want to upgrade Sam this summer to a big boy bed. He's getting tall enough already that he is rapidly outgrowing his todder bed and the toddler bed is definately getting a suspicious squeak from all the times he has ignored my instructions to not jump on the bed. I keep checking Craigs list too but just haven't been lucky yet. I'm hoping we'll run into something soon. I did walk away with 2 boxes of unused jelly canning jars for $2.00 each and a small pile of gently used clothes for Evie for $4.00. I plan on going garage saleing (yes it is too a word!....lol) a lot this summer. I forget all the good stuff you can find if you are diligent. I just wish our town was slightly bigger or I didn't have to drive 20 minutes to get to anything more significant in times like these.
When we got back and got the house straightened out I decided to try and make pretzels using Noelle's recipe. They failed miserably. The dough was a bit sticky so I had to add a little flour, I forgot to spray the cookie sheet so they stuck and I obviously didn't roll them out thin enough because they turned out as braided rolls rather than pretzels. But they tasted wonderful so I'll just have to work harder to get that perfect pretzel shape next time. Well, we are off to church this evening so we can have all of tomorrow off.
