I spent the whole day yesterday canning, I don't want to see another plum or apple for a while! I decided to go crazy while making apple sauce and added plums to it! It turned out really yummy. Then I made plum Jelly that the kids relly love. I hope it lasts a couple days anyway, after all that hard work!!!

first day of school

I know it is a little past the first day of school but here are the kids heading off to school! Joel even started a preschool that is only 2 days a week. I drove them as a tradition the first day. I forgot to tell the girls that they couldn't ride the bus this year and they tried to get on after school and the bus driver told them no. They weren't very happy about walking home! I forgot to go get them!! Does that make me a bad mom??

my new vehicle

sleep walking

We have a sleep walker! The other night Mike heard one of the kids in the kitchen, so her went to investigate: He found Joel standing by the table with a bottle of Ketchup up to his mouth with his head tipped way back! Mike asked him what he was doing and he replied getting a drink. mind you nothing was coming out of the bottle. Mike asked him if he had enough and he said no and tried for another drink, and still nothing. Mike got him a drink of water, he chugged the whole glass done and walked off to bed! I guess we will have to start putting a bell on the doors so he won't go outsisde.
