Week in Review

These past few weeks have been crazy so i will skip a week.
MONDAY - It just seems to be harder to wake up on a Monday morning that usual. After work we had dinner and then had a family home evening. The girls are definately in the terrible twos.
TUESDAY - It was another day at work. After dinner we went to Day Farms to find out what they had there. We were to late for the U-Pick section so we went over to the main building. There they had a variety of fruits and vegetables. We ended up picking 4 lbs of strawberries, but they were the tiny ones. We thought that the kids would be so excited to pick but they were more interested in playing in the dirt and mud then picking. We also bought two 1/2 bushels of peaches for $18 a piece. What a deal.
WEDNESDAY - After work I went to Costco to get some things that we needed. I ended up buying like 16 lbs of strawberries for making my favorite jam. When I got home we had dinner and then put the kids to bed and started making strawberry jam. We were up until 12:30 canning but it was worth it.
THURSDAY - My last day of work this week until a 4 day weekend. Hurray. This evening we canned peaches. They were so good. We were up until 1:00 but it did not matter because I did not have work the next day.

FRIDAY - We took Trevor to school and then went and picked three boxes of tomatoes. The only problem was that they were not ripe enough so we will have to wait to process them. It was so much fun picking tomatoes and the girls were such great help. We would pick the tomatoes and hand them to the girls and they would take them and put them in the box. We found out today that George and Melissa would not be coming because she has Strep. It was a relief but disappointing at the same time. So I called my parents and convinced them that they have to come help with the basement.
SATURDAY - I worked on the basement for a good part of the day. We went to Lowes to pick out the bathtub and the vanity that will go in the bathroom. This is the last major hurdle to finishing the framing. I need to know the dimensions to frame for. I went a bought a little play pool for the kids and but it at the end of the slide on the swing set. They had so much fun. The day just seemed to go by so fast.

SUNDAY - Today was the last Sunday of our month for teaching our Primary Class, and boy am I glad. The kids were like so restless and they all wanted to talk at the same time. When we walked home from church the wind was blowing hard but we thought nothing of it. As soon as we got home Brigitte's mom called and said that there was a severe thunderstorm warning and that everyone outside needed to go inside. About on hour later the storm hit. The wind blew and it started to rain hard. I was a little worried because my parents were driving in the weather. It took them 3 and a 1/2 hours instead of 2 hours. While we waited for them we decided to process a box of tomatoes. We should have waited because not all of them were ripe, but oh well.
