Play Time

Here are the girls playing in the corn. You get the idea!

Pumpkin Farm

Karen and I took our girls out to a pumpkin farm last Saturday. Karen's daughter, Sydney, is on the right in the picture below. She is two years old. They look pretty cute together; they all have blonde hair and blue eyes.


This is the best picture I could get. You get the idea. Addison never really stuck her head out the hole while the other two were trying to crawl all they way through.
There was a small maze for the kids to go through. These two did a good job. Addison just took her time and fell behind.
Here I am with the girls on the pumpkin train.
After a hayrack ride, we made it down to the pumpkin patch. This is the pumpkin we brought home for Daddy to carve.

It was an extremely windy day and the girls we getting tired. They decided to take a break in the cart while we waited for a tractor to take us back up to the farm.
There was a small building filled with corn over 1 foot deep.


They had fun digging and playing in the corn.
When they all started lying down in the corn, we knew it was time to head home.

Homemakers

Sorry it has been so long since I have added to our blog. We have been busy I guess. Here is an example of what we have been doing. Last weekend Tony and I both worked together canning and baking.
Our peach pie turned out pretty well. I made the filling and the crust. Tony helped roll out the crust. Next time we have to make sure the crust is a little thinner. Since we have 12 bags of frozen peaches, I guess we will be able to practice.
Dad gave me some tomotoes from his garden. We canned 6 quarts. This should last until next year because we only use the tomatoes in lasagne. Tony helped me put the jars in the boiling bath otherwise we probably would have gone to the hospital!

These are cinnamon cucumbers. Addison actually loves these. The whole process takes three days but it was pretty fun. I have more jars and cucumbers out in the garage so I better get started on another batch!
The girls and I also made brownies but I forgot to take a picture. We started eating them before they were even cool!
