And The Snow Keeps On Coming!

Wow I can't believe I have slacked for over a month and have not posted anything new. Well I mean I guess I have been just a little bit busy with starting my new job, babysitting in the afternoons, trying to get ready for company this week, and trying to get ready for Christmas. I have so much baking left to do its just crazy!

First of all my job has been going awesome! I am working part time at a grocery store bakery. I know I know for all of you who have ever heard me slander a grocery store bakery this one is good because they have me. Plus I don't make those ugly cakes, Someone else does. So... The pay is exactly what I want it to be (great for Utah) and I love the hours. I work Tuesday through Saturday from 5 am -11 am. Since Robert mostly works evening this works out so I really don't need a babysitter. Which brings me to the babysitting in the afternoon part.

One of my new very best friends Laura who lives up the street from me has started working evenings and so we now trade babysitting. I love her two kids Lucas and Zoe they are wonderful. So I watch them a few days a week for about an hour in the afternoons till there dad comes to get them. Trust me its so much fun having the kids to play with each other.

As for the company coming this week part. Well my mother in-law Patty flys in this Thursday and we are so excited to get to see her. Not to mention that it is wonderful having an extra babysitter and cook around. We really do love her! I don't think she does much in the baking department but that's okay I think I have this part covered.

I now have 18 loaves of frozen banana bread, 1 sheet of lemon bars and 1 sheet of pecan bars in my freezer just waiting to be packed up and shipped off to there final Christmas destinations. I only have 22 loaves of Cinnamon chip bread, 1 sheet of pecan bars and 1 sheet of lemon bars left to bake on my list. But that does not include dipping all 6 pounds of pretzels in white chocolate.

So I guess we have been just a little bit busy lately and this time of year just gets that way sometimes I guess. But I can at least say my Christmas tree has been up since the day after Thanksgiving. So I do feel like I have gotten a Few things accomplished.
