Thursday

Off to my mom's to get some oranges - another great thing about homeschooling is you can go when you want to.

5 days worth

Friday - we did a grocery run, and the girls took some pumpkin pictures

Saturday - painting. All. Day. Long.

(Sunday - church; baby shower; kids choir; rest??)

Monday - making the applesauce with my little helper

Friday

Packaging up some goodies for a birthday
.

Thursday

Trying to keep my focus on all the papers I need to go through, instead of the chocolate my son left on the counter.

Tuesday

This was baking day. Cookies for birthdays; Brownies for Bible study (silver bowl); carrot bread for youth group (white bowl) and not seen, there were also bread loaves for lunches.

Friday

Making oatmeal bread,

and paper mache'. And making sure to keep them separate

Wednesday

Blanched and froze all those ears of corn - 51 quart bags.

Tuesday

Picked corn - 120 ears, for freezing

Wednesday

Having a snack before our morning walk. School is in session and we need a morning break. So even though it is hot out, we will make a trek out and about.

Monday

I went to the farm to pick produce in the morning. We expected company in the afternoon and I wanted to have enough to feed them.

I picked this carrot - interlocking - isn't it cute? I was going to give it to my husband with a sweet note, but haven't yet.

Wednesday

Making potato salad and apple pie. Separately. With my helpers.

My baby has a sweet tooth. Her hugging the package of sugar was just extra confirmation on it.

Thursday

Wednesday was another day full of swimming: lessons for the younger ones in the morning and swim meet for the older two in the afternoon.
Today my sweet husband took the kids to lessons so I could stay home and tackle, among other things, this:

The older kids picked the raspberries, 7 pints,

which we traded with the neighbors when they brought over these:

(and yes, two have been eaten by the time the photo was taken)

Saturday

A berry picking and jammin' kind of day

Tuesday

Another morning at swim lessons. Today's task - shopping for the upcoming camping trip; a shopping trip where I found heaven on earth - in the form of chocolate. It's a chocolate covered banana chip. I plunged it into some peanut butter, and swooned. Good thing I had to get the older kids to swim lessons, or else I might be in a chocolate-banana-peanut butter coma.

Tuesday

The 4 kids are at VBS, so we went shopping again.

Happy little shopper

Tuesday's

A bit more relaxed today. Making crackers, again, while holding a fussy baby - nap time was next.

Tiny Tuesday

Guess who spilled syrup all over the dining room carpet? Hint - you can see her here.

Guess who got to wash the carpet this morning? Hint - it's not the person in the photo

Tidy Tuesday

Today's word - change.
I had to get creative and find a way to keep the baby out of the cupboard which holds her snacks. I'm tired of Cheerios and puffs being strewn across the house.

tuesday

baking birthday cookies

Today's word - Food.
That seems to be a very common theme in our home.
