Playdate and Food Storage

On Wednesday my best friend from high school, Rachel, and her son, Noah, came over for a few hours in between Rachel's cello lessons. She teaches Cello in Murray and Provo, she is amazing. I could not believe how fun it was to have them over!


Here they are surrounded by toys, but Noah is playing with a book/music light and Troy is playing with baby oil that still has the plastic seal on it. Adult things are just so much more interesting I guess. I'm sure they will actually start playing with each other eventually. Right now it's just the occasional stare and maybe a smile while they play with their "toys."


Rachel and I with cheesy smiles.


Ben, Mom, and Rachel talking after a yummy taco salad dinner. My mom came down so that I could cut her hair. We cut off quite a bit, but it looks pretty cute! It would have been way easier if Liss was there... :)

Rachel told me about this awesome website: Food Storage Made Easy. It gives you 10 baby steps to accomplish over a certain period of time to get all your food storage done. One of the first steps is to have a place for your food storage. So we decided to go the cheap route and make homemade storage containers out of cardboard. Check it out!

  1. oh my gosh we did the exact same thing a few months ago! I was showing Kenny the shelves I wanted to get for food storage and he said they're way too expensive. A couple hours later he had made one (JUST like yours) out of cardboard and everything. I had to laugh when I saw your post! that's awesome.

  2. It's funny, I saw "1 comment" and I KNEW it would be you. I was totally not surprised that you had done this. Kenny is so awesome for doing that. Wish we could actually do things together rather than unknowingly doing the same things all the time!

  4. Charlotte! Congrats on your new place! It's gorgeous!!! It is so fun to have your own place. Troy is the cutest. I couldn't help but think as I saw your picture with him how proud of you your Dad is. I just felt him smiling down on you. You are an amazing mom.
