Harvest time

I spent the morning (ok, well more like 15 minutes this morning) digging up carrots in my sister's garden. And then this afternoon, I blanched them for the freezer.



Our bounty this year was 8 bags of cut up carrots and enough "baby" ones for a meal later this week. With rising food prices, Christmas coming and our car tags due next month, I couldn't be happier to stock my freezer with homegrown, organic veggies that cost a mere $2.50 this spring.

And much love to Katelyn for doing all the watering!

Bon appetit!

Hi ho, hi ho, it's off to work I go....

Tucker has had a language explosion lately... You know, the kind where he's talking in full-on sentences. One after another. The kind that require and/or demand an answer. The kind in which logic is involved.

On a side note, we've been having some bedtime issues with T lately, and have been giving an exorbitant amount of praise if he spends the whole night in his own bed.

So, combining the two the other day, Tucker came up with this little ditty:

T: Where's Daddy?
Me: At work.
T: Because he's done sleeping? Because he slept all night?

Too cute! If only...


And on another job note, Grace was studying the letter "c" this week and had to dress up as a cowgirl (see below). She asked me the next morning what I thought she should be when she grew up. I told her that I wanted her to be whatever she was happy doing. She replied that she'd be happy being a cowgirl, except that cowgirls only eat beans, and she wasn't so sure she could do that. Guess she has a little of her Aunt Katelyn in her!

(not too bad for using what we had on hand!)

Here's wishing you a great day at work!
