Baking Bread

Yesterday I made dough for 8 loaves of bread. I cooked 5 for dinner last night and to have on hand for breakfast, and then baked 3 this morning. Lily told me to pace myself so I don't get burned out. It's so easy though, I don't know that I will unless the kids stop eating it. Shall I upload another photo of bread? I tried this big "wheat" pattern after I saw it on youtube. 

I went to visit some ladies in the neighborhood today and gifted them all a loaf - Carol P and Jen R and when Kathy O brought me back home I gave her one too. They might be too big to give to couples and neighbors who live alone, so I might try forming smaller loaves or maybe I'll get a smaller dutch oven sometime? Or loaf pan? I'll explore what options are out there. 

The kids played a lot outside yesterday and today. Spring is in the air. We are going to have a family work day on Saturday and get things cleaned up a little bit. Bulk clean up isn't until May, but we'll try to start clearing out a little bit each week in the garbage can. The kids jumped on the trampoline while I raked pine needles. I counted raking as my movement for yesterday. This morning at 6:30 Corey and I got up early to go climbing at Fort Union. We decided to cancel our membership for a bit, so I did that on Monday, did I already mention that? We have this week through Saturday and then we're taking a break and going to join the Cottonwood Heights Rec Center. We'll take the kids swimming this summer, play some racquetball and lift weights and stuff, and will still have a sauna there, yay.

At 9pm tonight Corey was still working and I started cleaning the house. I'm glad I had desire to do that, it's been a while. I took stuff downstairs (snow boots) and I'm hoping tomorrow to keep it going and to get ski stuff all organized and put away properly for the season, and we still have Christmas stuff all in a mess down there. There's a lot to do.
