Okay, so today I had quite the list of things that I wanted to get done. I wasn’t sure it was going to happen at first, but things worked out pretty well. I got up around 7ish this morning, and actually had a morning shower! Then I looked out the window and, low and behold, there was snow on the ground! That cheered me up for the day right away! Myles was snoozing, so I got Qade up and fixed him his breakfast, then Myles woke up, but I managed to convince him to wait till Mommy had something to eat before he had his “second breakfast.” So I fixed cream of wheat, and halfway through that Qade wanted to read “Five Little Monkeys Jumping on the Bed” so I did that then shared the rest of my breakfast with Bubba. 
I did manage to get the laundry going and the yogurt bread started as well. Eventually Qade went down for a nap, and Stu took apart the dishwasher, to see if we could “fix” it, so I used the time to cut up the apples for my quick bread! Woo- hoo! Got that in the oven, woke up Qade, fixed lunch, ate lunch, had some of the apple bread and it was very yummy!! I got all the laundry done, and then the bread machine beeped. I was so looking forward to trying this bread, but alas, it was a complete failure!! I’m not sure what the problem was, but it came out looking like a lump, and actually didn’t smell so wonderful either. 
I’m not sure I’m even going to try to cut it open…. so disappointing. But I’m not overly bummed about it. So many other things went well today that how could I be?? Just to make me feel better about my bread machine making abilities though, I’m posting a picture of my 2 first “success” loves! Hope you all have had a marvelous Monday!
First Loaf ever! Just a basic white bread. It tasted wonderful!
Second loaf. This was a whole wheat, herb sandwich bread loaf.
YUM!! Good job Rachel!
wow, you’re on a roll! the fresh bread looks so good. i think i need a bread machine.
