Came and Went

The desire to can anything and everything went as quickly as it came! I canned only 8 jars of peaches and 8 jars of tomatoes and I feel like I'm done. Last summer I canned 30ish jars of tomatoes! I know mid-winter I will be really bummed I quit so early! I bought another crate of Colorado peaches for $0.98/lb and resorted to freezing them, because it seemed to hard to do the canning process. I love doing it while I'm doing it, but getting all set up is my stumbling block. Oh well, canned peaches and tomatoes are cheaper at the store anyway!

Now on to deep cleaning (which hasn't been done much this summer). We have Small Group starting at our house this Sunday and desperately need to get everything in order again!

The child that's never gotten out of bed without permission . . .

So this is what happens when you try to rest while the baby's resting (not my baby, but we still needed the rest today)

I even heard a few bangs and booms, but no crying so decided to stay all cozy in my bed upstairs.

Meanwhile, Madison, my two (almost 3) year old was playing "train" with her babies. She was so proud, I couldn't help but smile and laugh, AND take pictures, but I promise she got a good scolding and was told that if there is a next time . . . she will be disciplined. But this time it was good for a laugh. (I mean really, it kept her busy for a good 1 1/2 hours-that can't be bad here and there) : ) I'm not really sure how she got the bed over a foot away from the wall, but I know I can't put up with whining on a short walk around the block anymore if she can do this.
