REMINISCING!!!!!!

It's that time of year again!!!! Canning, Freezing, and every thing else on the To Do list before school starts...and before baby comes.....this mama getting really ready.... but that means it will be November and that is what I'm not ready for!!!!!!!!!  I have this long list of things that need to b done before then so I'm thinking I better stay at it for everything to get done... But I also really need to enjoy the last few days of summer with the children!!!!!!


This past week I got a few things off my list!!!! starting with early Monday morn I went for my corn, I got 220 ears to freeze, and 3 baskets of red haven peaches, I froze some and canned the rest.. and I did 37 jars of pickles, and 4 batches refrigerated pickles which my hubby loves.. so have to do more o those.. (note to self)  I was so thankful my mom came to help me Monday with my corn.. I thought I would be able to do it myself but on my way home from picking every thing up I stopped at Lee n Mary to see how her mom was doing and found myself saying I would bring supper that evening.... *yikes*  what did I just get myself into... but was so glad I did and everything worked out.. so made supper for 16 people at Lee's and since mom was here made some for them to and because my hubby was working out of town the kids and I went home with mom home and ate our supper with them... whew!!! it was a crazy day... but really rewarding at the same time...




here is my helper!!!! she somehow figures out what she can do to get her fingers in it....and surprisingly she can do a lot beings she is only 6... just gotta love her cheesy smile!!!!

she really wanted to use the cutter to.. but I said no!!:)

this was our set up this year and I loved it... since we remodeled and now have a barn with a rec room with my old kitchen out there,  and the best part of it!!! it's right outside the back door, connected to the deck....  love it!!!

 this little guy was being his crazy self....   I making rainbows he said...love him!!!!

 

 

and then it was on to pickles and peaches...  very morning Malaina would ask to get all the soft peaches so we could cut and peal, she really was serious about it!!!!!

 my other little helper guys....

 

and than sometimes they would actually go play.. and that another cool thing about the barn is I put all there toys out there and when I do an all day project like canning I do it in the barn and the kids can play right there beside me and my house is like I left it before I started...

 

 

 

so now it's on to the next projects on my list....

 

hope you all will take the time to enjoy the last days of summer!!!!!!!!!! blessings..
