This week I introduced Reagan to the joys of making sugar cookies. Tonight I taught Kate how to make jelly. At first she thought we were making jello, and she asked me what the big jars were for. We had a lot of fun. I just made a small batch about 4 quarts. Kate was fascinated as we boiled the jars in hot water and then made the jelly with pectin and sugar. She was a little skeptical that the soupy substance could ever be jelly, but tomorrow morning she is going to be in for a surprise, and maybe I'll let her open a jar and have her jelly on toast.
Georgie has a terrible cold, but she's true to form just like all my girls, and she has already figured out how to blow her nose. I think they must really hate the nose sucker thingy because it always happens around this age. They get a cold. I use the nose sucker on them. They suddenly start blowing their noses. Unfortunately, the cold seems to making it's round, and Reagan is coming down with it as well. It doesn't seem to effecting the adults too badly. I had the cold, followed by a cold sore, but it only lasted a couple of days. I feel bad for Georgie because there isn't anything I can give her to alleviate the runny nose.
I've discovered that she loves being in the backpack. Ever since Tanner has started school, it's been a struggle to get the food shopping done and all of my errands run because Georgie does not like the stroller or the cart, and keeping track of Reagan and Kate at the same time that Georgie is screaming next to the apples and oranges is just absolutely awful. One day I decided to take a walk, but Georgie in the stroller wasn't working, so I grabbed the backpack. The one that both Reagan and Kate absolutely hated. I put Georgie in it, slung it on my back, and suddenly I had a happy baby. There was much rejoicing in the Howell family on that great day.
