b-a-n-a-n-a-s and b-u-s-y and m-e-s-s-y

These past few days have been busy. Busy. Busy. Busy. For example, I have been busy dehydrating some delicious strawberries and bananas courtesy of my new dehydrator from emergency essentials - who needs the sugar fake fruit snacks when you can make this?

We also were busy following this phenomenal tutorial courtesy of the amazing Pook and we turned out with this:
It was so good that we decided to make a true sacrifice and give it to the teacher that called five minutes before church to ask if we could bring some bread. Although no one said anything - I have no doubt that everyone appreciated its deliciousness.

To even further prove our busy-ness - look at what the Rosscat built:


I can't help it - I am so impressed. He has set it up so that we can plug the hose in and instant sprinklers for our amazing (soon to be) garden. And when we get the rest of the yard put in (it is our big summer project) we'll just hook it right into the sprinkler system. Awesome to the limit. I can almost taste those garden fresh tomatoes right now.

But with all this busy-ness - something had to give. So although we managed to find time to do some laundry - here is our current clean laundry pile that we have yet to fold and put away.

Greg thinks that we should just see how long we can go living like this. I'm not up for the challenge.

And although we managed to celebrate mother's day by giving some fantastic mother's day presents to our mother's and then keep on partying celebrating Kiki's birthday - that too came at a cost. Here is what our kitchen currently looks like:
I must admit - I am tempted to not go to Young Ladies tonight and instead clean.
I won't - but I'm tempted.

Kitty, you will use any excuse you can to get out of going to Young Womens. Those girls desperately need your guidance and the pearls of wisdom you dispense. Don't let them down.

What is up with those bananas you dehydrated? They look kind of green and also like you left the peel on them. I'm sure they are as delicious as that bread. I still wish you would dehydrate some ice cream. Astronauts love it so you know it's good. I bet it's even better with a glass of Tang.

Why are you dumping your clean laundry on the floor? In my mind this is akin to not washing your hands after going to the bathroom. And before you start telling me that your floors are clean let me remind you of the time I found that peanut sprouting on your floor in a mound of dust bunnies.

I wish Ross would come build me some garden moisteners. He should make kits of these and sell them on QVC.

My floor is clean. I left that peanut on the floor to freak you out so that you wouldn't stay that long.

You guys look ultra, ultra productive. Holy Moley. Todd's just jealous that he can't dehydrate his own fruit.

Greg said...

Todd sure can dehydrate the conversation.

The bread was really, REALLY good. I remember as I took my piece, thinking..."Mmmm...what IS this stuff?" And just a heads up - you may want to throw some fresh pineapple on that dehydrator. I was so into that stuff a few years ago, I filled my mouth with cankor sores. Yep...that good. :)

Mom said...

Wow you guys are busy, how on earth are you going to go to Portland and leave all that? If you were closer I could pitch in.
Be safe! MOM

Ross, you must be refering the my dry sense of humor. Lindy, I can dehydrate all the fruit I want. I just save money by doing it the old fashioned way: leaving fruit bits out in the hot sun for a week. YUM!

we have the same (maybe even larger) clean laundry pile, but ours is on a bay seat and it hardly ever bothers me. Except for when I am watching Hoarders.
