Stuart's Lesson

Stuart is the new Young Men's President in our ward, so he has to teach tomorrow (the 5th Sunday so it's combined YM/YW). He's doing his lesson on the theme for the year Joshua 1:9, he's talking about courage and standing up for what you know is right. So, I made these Back To School Survival Kits for the youth in our ward. They all started school this last Thursday, so it's kinda fitting. I think they turned out pretty cute though.



These are the magnets I made to put in the kits, they were super easy. Just some clear rocks, bright paper, magnets and mod podge. Super easy and super cute!

Save the Tots!

Today I was making Sunday dinner. While I was using a hotpad to help me drain the greenbeans, the steam from the beans must've gotten my hotpad wet. I then proceeded to get the tatertots (don't be jealous of our gourmet dinner!) out of the 450 degree oven, the heat from the pan went right through the wet spot on my hotpad and burnt my finger. So, I being the genius that I am, immediately grabbed the 450 degree pan with my other BARE HAND! And rather than waste a tray of tatertots, or grab the pan back with my protected hand, I held onto it until I set it on the counter (while yelling profanities). Needless to say, I have a very sore index finger on my left hand. :( The moral of the story is: BEWARE OF WET HOTPADS!!!
