Day 82, 83, and 84

Day 82
30 day shred workout 1.  We all did it as a family at 9pm, yes, I know we're nuts!  The kids went to sleep immediately after that.

Day 83
A usual wednesday.  Our time together was making microwave caramel popcorn in the church kitchen - yum!  We had made it with our Pioneer Club kids and had extra ingredients.  Thanks to my friend Michelle Walter for this great recipe.  I got in a 3.5 mile run.

Caramel Popcorn


4 qt popped corn (1/2 cup unpopped)
1 c. brown sugar
1 stick butter
¼ c. Karo corn syrup
½ tsp salt
¼ tsp baking soda
1 tbsp vanilla (optional, but I always use it)

 Mix butter, sugar, Karo syrup and salt in glass container. Place in microwave for 1 minute. Remove and stir. Return to microwave and boil for 2 minutes. (Be careful not to boil over sides.) Remove and add ¼ tsp soda. Stir until foamy. Add vanilla. Pour caramel mixture over 4 quarts of popped corn in a large heavy duty paper grocery sack.  Fold top of bag closed, shake well and place in microwave for 1 minute. Shake the bag again. Heat 1 minute. Repeat 2 more times. Pour into large bowl or spread onto a cookie sheet. Let cool five minutes and eat.


Day 84
The kids had gymnastics then helped Daddy wash the car.  30 day shred workout 2 for John and I at 9:45 pm, yes, I know this is even worse than monday!  It was a killer workout, definitely an efficient 20 min.
