Buried

So, I think in my last post, I mentioned to you that K was staying home because of the L.I.C.E situation at her daycare. Yep. She's still home.
And I think she's bored with me. Which is fine, because she's 3. And because the weather has been ATROCIOUS since she has been here. First we got 30cm of snow over two days. Then the temperature dropped to -38C (with the windchill). Then it warmed up for 1 day. And snowed again. And then freezing rain. And then more snow. And then just regular rain. And then the temperature dropped to -29C.
So, we've mostly been hanging out at home.
Yesterday, I decided that we needed to get out. So we went to the Solutions store. I bought some containers for various things - flour, sugar, powdered milk, coconut. All things that I have had all along, but usually stay in bags. It must be that I am going a bit stir crazy, but I can't seem to just close the cupboard and not worry about the chaos that is behind it.
So, yesterday, I completely organized (alphabetically, no less) my spice cupboard. And I composted tons of old nuts, seeds, and spices that had been lost at the back of the cupboard.
I added labels to everything from Mabel's Labels, who I love for labelling anything and everything.
The other thing I did this week, inspired completely by the 40 loaves challenge that Elise Blaha is doing, I borrowed my dad's bread maker, and made lemon poppy seed loaf. It was ok. Not as good as starbucks, but something that can be improved. I'm not even sure that I like the texture of the bread maker bread. I might try the same recipe in the oven.
Today's objective....get K to learn to spell her name. All 8 letters.
