We had a jamming good time

I went to the grocery store today and Leia wanted strawberry jelly. It was almost 4 bucks and I was like noway are we getting that. We were in the fruit section and strawberries were on sale for 2lbs for 3 bucks. I already at the pectin and sugar so I was like I know what were going to do today. At first Leia wasn't into it. She wanted to play. So I told her to humor me and pretend to help me make it. Well after this first picture she was hooked. She loved it all. I knew she would. We made 5 jars of jelly. I'm going to freeze it so hopefully there's some left when Chris gets here. If not we'll just have to make more.

I'm trying to sneak in for a picture

I caught her a few times licking the sugar cup. She'll be bouncing off the walls tonight.


I let Leia pour it and well you know kids and messes it was bound to happen. She let me do the rest. It was so sweet she cleaned up without me telling her to. We had enough to make 5 six oz jars of strawberry jam.

You know we couldn't wait and we didn't have dinner yet ,so we had to try out our jam. It was fabulous.

Leia digging in.

Her signature thumbs up to let me know that it's good. There was no prompting on it either. She did it herself. Makes my heart melt.
