Today I got my new Baby Chef Artisan Yogurt Maker in the mail. I have been pretty excited waiting for it to arrive so we hurried out and bought some organic yogurt for the starter and mixed up our first batch. The instructions say it can take 8-15 hours to set up which just about kills me. I am not a very patient waiter but if I can check it in 8 hours I think I'll be ok. I'm not exactly sure how you know if you need to wait 8 or 15 or whatever in between, but the instructions say the less time you leave it the more mild flavor it will have. I'm not a big fan of super tart yogurt so hopefully ours will be good tonight. Lucy wants to try a bunch of crazy flavors so we decided to just buy a few jars of organic pureed fruit baby food and add that. In the future we will add our own fresh fruits but it will be fun to experiment.
Today we also found a really fun thrift shop called the Mission Mart in downtown Bloomington. We found a lot of great things including Garfield sheets, Ghostbuster's Birthday party invitations, an X-wing fighter, and a really great vintage NASA space station playset. We got some clothes and other things too, but the toys are always the most fun!
On the drive home we got to play the game "Name that precipitation!" while little chunks of ice flew out of the sky and blew around. The weather was so great a couple of weeks ago, I think I got spoiled by it.
I'll leave you with a video of what we're going to be doing this weekend....
