A Full Fun Weekend | VEDA 2026 Day 12

Added: 2026-05-05

[00:00:05]Well, good morning. Another day of Veta.

[00:00:07]It's actually Friday morning for us. I'm just getting my coffee going and spent some time unloading the dishwasher, washing out a few things that were left over in the sink. And my bagel dough that I made yesterday has risen beautifully. So, I'm going we're actually not going to eat those for breakfast. My plan is to shape, you know, shape them and bake them and let them cool and pop them in the freezer.

[00:00:34]This is just a loaf of sourdough bread, just like a bool that I actually probably should have done this. Oven's on. Um, I should have done this last night, but I didn't. I just let it sit in the regular bowl that I made the dough in. So, it was incredibly risen all the way to the top of the the plastic cover. So, I just reshaped it, put it in my Banton basket. Hopefully.

[00:00:59]Well, what I could do is I think it's already starting to rise. It's quite warm in the house right now. Um, I could stick it in the fridge and that'll kind of delay the fermentation process and the rise and we could have it another day. But, I think I'm just going to go ahead and let it rise all day and then bake it and have it for dinner tonight.

[00:01:19]My daughters made some like oatmeal chocolate chip cookies last night. So, I thought maybe of dicing those up maybe like a little bit smaller and serving it along with breakfast this morning. But we are going to have tea time. So, that's why I thought maybe I'll have like a little something sweet with it.

[00:01:39]Um, but also I'm having groceries delivered and they should be here maybe like in the next 20 minutes. And I think this is just about ready to plunge down.

[00:01:50]I have all of my spices and my vanilla in my cup here. My heavy cream.

[00:01:57]It's just the best part of the day.

[00:02:01]All right, groceries are here on the island. Do a little bit on the counter.

[00:02:05]So, I had to go through real quick. We just got stocked up on some frozen fruit. Strawberries, blueberries, mango, and cherries. I needed another jar.

[00:02:17]Unfortunately, my oatmeal lid over there, the lid cracked, so I mean, technically, I only needed the lid, but obviously can't just buy that. So, I just got another one. And then I'll have an extra base on hand, I guess. We have some chewy bars for school. Couple of these uh bags of organic flour, olive oil, maple syrup, mayonnaise, pickles, uh Duncan whole bean. I like to grind it myself. Some Sriracha, cucumbers. My kids really are into these like small individual yogurts. So, we have the peach and strawberry. And this is blueberry and strawberry. I saw that Walmart has this better goods simple ingredients cream cheese. And I thought that would be perfect for our bagels, some feta, heavy cream, lemons, and toothpaste back there. Some romaine lettuce, and some arugula for sandwiches and salads. Tomatoes, meat sticks, some chicken broth, couple canned things, some diced green chilies. My husband asked for some sweet and condensed milk.

[00:03:27]And then I got some tomato sauce. I thought we could use that for pizzas. My daughter loves these seaweed snacks.

[00:03:34]That's pretty much for just for her. Um couple boxes of pasta. I got some cabbage. I was thinking of making a kleslaw sometime in the next week or so.

[00:03:44]Got some more oranges and apples and carrots. Those are just something we use up a lot. some turkey, bananas, some bacon, pepperonis for pizzas, chicken drumsticks. We are very well stocked on chicken and beef at the moment, so I didn't really get really any meat, just those drumsticks. I think four of these heads of garlic. I think that's it on this table. And then over here, we have a couple gallons of milk, some of these mini croissants. We're actually going to use these for tea time today and make ham and cheese croissants. And then eggs, lots of eggs. And then lastly on this side, we stocked up on iced coffee.

[00:04:27]This is a lot of dairy cheese sticks, some mozzarella cheese, some more yogurts. Um cottage cheese, and just plain Greek yogurt. My daughter likes these. Coconuts. Wow, this is um a lot of yogurt. I didn't even realize, but my kids love yogurt, and I do too. And then we stocked up on butter as well. So, I'm going to go ahead and get all this put away. and then we will get ready to sit down for tea time. All right, most of the groceries are put away. I'm also going to get a pot of eggs boiling to do some egg salad later in the day. So, it's just cold water with a little baking soda. I find that to be really helpful when peeling them, but I just honestly, and I've said this in so many videos, I feel like every time I boil eggs, it's just like we'll see what happens. So, we'll see what happens. And this is my broken um what's it? Oatmeal oatmeal lid. So that's unfortunate. It's a pretty clean break for the most part. So I've just left it there. But put the fresh new clean lid on.

[00:05:47]I just got my walking clothes on and my shoes ready to go for a walk. And then I realized that we are all out of ice. Our ice machine hasn't been working for a long time. So, we just buy bags of ice.

[00:06:00]So, I'm going to actually just run out real quick even though I just got groceries delivered and go pick that up.

[00:06:07]My daughter also needs a trifold for her school project. So, I need to grab that.

[00:06:13]And then I would like to get some potting soil to pot up the lavender that I bought and get those potted in the little like planters that I got yesterday or the plants yesterday. So, we're just going to run out cuz it is another hot day. So, we definitely need the ice for just like water and then, you know, have all that stove coffee. So for iced coffees in the afternoon and yeah, it'll just be good to have that in the house.

[00:07:04]Heat. Heat.

[00:07:44]Heat. Heat.

[00:08:40]What's so proudly we held at the twilight. life lasting and the home of the brave.

[00:09:00]>> So, it is now Saturday. I'm just kind of checking in here. We have already had a busy morning. The floor company was here this morning at like 7:30 to start staining our bedroom floors and like the little threshold between like the sun room and our our main house. So, that is very exciting. And then we went out to my son's first baseball game, which was absolutely adorable. We have never done any kind of like organized sports before. My girls are not really sporty.

[00:09:35]We've done like soccer. I guess my daughter did soccer, but she wasn't like super into it and it wasn't like a team with games and like a whole the whole shebang. So, this is our first foray into it and it is absolutely adorable. I love it so much. They had like a parade and they brought out all the teams and raised the flag and it just like this whole big ceremony and it was absolutely precious. And the weather could not be more amazing. It was like breezy and sunny and it just so much fun. So, we all went big family event to go support my son for his first game. And now he'll have games twice a week for the next I don't know month and a half or so. But now we are just stopping home for a little bit to eat some lunch and then get ourselves just like dressed and cleaned up. and we're about to go drive about two hours out of state to go visit a very dear friend of mine that I grew up with, her and her husband and their six children. It is just always so fun to get together with them and you know whenever she's over our way we get together and then we try to go out there as much as we can. So we're going to go visit her. She's having like a birthday party. three of her kids kind of have like spring birthdays, March and April.

[00:10:56]So, she just kind of does like one party for the spring birthdays and then one party for her other three are kind of more like summer birthdays. So, that's usually how she breaks it up. So, we're going to go drive out there, enjoy seeing them, and I'll probably catch back up with you tomorrow and hopefully show you the floors. Actually, I think technically they're not going to do like the top coat until maybe Sunday or Monday. I think they've said maybe Monday morning. So, they may not be totally done, but they might be stained at least. So, I will just show you what I can show you when, you know, I pick the camera up again.

[00:11:39]Heat. Heat.

[00:12:11]Heat. Heat.

[00:12:36]Heat. Heat.

[00:12:54]So, it is Sunday now. We had a really great time yesterday visiting my friends out of state and we got home like probably 10ish. So, we all just kind of came home, crashed, went to bed, and then this morning we got up, went to church, and then we basically have been just kind of like doing a bit of a Sunday reset. We obviously made, you know, like brunch after church, breakfast, lunch.

[00:13:21]Um, and then we kind of tag teamed that, my husband and I, so that I could also prep some bread for the next few days.

[00:13:30]So, that's going in the bread maker. I made some oatmeal, maple, chocolate chip muffins. I don't know, just a recipe that I found to have for quick breakfast or like just a snack to have for the next few days. And then kids help to clean up and fold laundry. I have a load going right now. Yeah. And now we have just kind of a lull in the day. Um my kids are working on a couple just school things that they just want to like get ahead on. And I am going to get in a workout. I don't know if I'm going to do Usually I alternate between like weights and walking. It has been just like raining off and on all day. It's very gloomy in the house. We got home late, so I'm just not really feeling the weights, so I might do the walk, but we'll see. See if I can rally um and get that done. So, that's kind of where we are right now. The floors did get stained. I mentioned that they or I showed you a little clip that they were here in the morning uh sanding. So, it is stained. They're just not sealed. So, I could show you what they look like, but it's going to look a little bit different because obviously it's just the raw wood with stain on it. It doesn't have the polyurethane top coat, which will give it, you know, some sheen and a little bit of like that golden color. So, right now it looks very brown, but it is the same color as the rest of the floors that we have the rest of the stain color in the rest of the house. So, I know once the top coat goes on, it'll look a little bit different, but I can show you. We have it blocked off because we don't want the dog or kids walking in there because it's like the little threshold that's still in the house. Like, we could keep them probably out of our bedroom, but that little area, it's just inevitable that at least the dog's going to walk over it. So, we have it blocked off right now. So, that won't be finished, I think, until Monday morning. They're going to come back and do the top coat. And then, you know, it'll still need a few days after that to fully cure and harden, and then the floors will be done. So, that's very exciting.
