While Russ Was Away....

 We kept busy. Here is some of what we did.

Fort building. Dallin would have it up all day, every day if I let him. He played it all day.

 I got my necklace that I bought with that gift certificate my mom won and gave me.  Dallin thinks it is his and wore it all weekend until he broke off and lost one of the jump rings. Oh well. Easy fix.

Dallin played "travel" for two days straight. He would "fly" to see Grandma and then home to see Mom and go to church. The only days there were was Sunday and Monday. Luckily he doesn't get to really make that true. Who wants only Sundays and Mondays over and over?

 We made a glitter jar he has been wanting since his friend made one. I finally got got the stuff to do it.

He's been begging me to make him a specific costume for months now. I finally got the stuff to make it. Can you tell who he is?

 We made bagels. They are the best bagels I have ever made. Better than any I have bought at the grocery store. I don't think I can buy them again. They weren't that hard. Just takes prep time. (You have to start the night before.) There recipe is here* if anyone want to try them.  Dallin and I have pretty much only eaten bagels today. We did save some for Dad when he gets home tonight.

*I didn't have malt syrup or molasses, so I just used dark brown sugar mixed with a little water. Still great!

I also started on making Mother Day gifts since I will be in Utah in March. This way I won't have to send them. Better get going. I need to be at the airport to get Russ in 15 minutes. Oops.
