The kids and I have been busy with many things outside this week. Monday we recuperated from a weekend camping trip. We almost didn't get to go camping. The bus was giving us trouble. Last year it ended up in the fix-it shop on the way to this very weekend camp. Kevin was able to get the brakes "unstuck" and we had a great time of fellowship and food and playing and worship! Monday, we picked about 45 pounds of strawberries which we sold to someone. The kids get a portion of all the strawberries since they are doing a lot of the work. We hope to participate in the Farmer's Market this year and the kids get a percentage for their weeding and picking. It's more fun to help when you get rewarded for it.
Tuesday, we picked this huge mound of weeds from this little garden. There are some sticks under those weeds but it was a great group effort and so rewarding to see the garden. The weeds were nearly as large as the plants. Marigolds and tomatoes are all that's here plus 3 little pepper plants. I have some to transplant out there but they aren't doing so well in the house.
Wednesday, up at 7:30 a.m. picking strawberries again and then Em and I cleaned houses for others. Thursday at 7:30 a.m. we picked again and ran errands. Last night was a Farmer's Market meeting and we got home about 10 p.m. I told Jordan that we should get the house picked up and then we can sleep in. She reminded me that I had a chiropractor appointment!!!! I had to leave at 7 a.m. :( :( Supper is in the oven, Kevin is working late so he can have all day tomorrow off and we hope to have movie night yet tonight. Tomorrow we are hoping to have a big workday. Only 6 weeks to the graduation party on August 20. We ordered the announcements last night and they are already being shipped! Way to go Shutterfly! We saved a huge amount of money picking a different card than the traditional grad announcement plus there was a great sale yesterday and I saved over $50 with coupons and the sale price. I'm so glad I didn't order the night before. Whew!!
