Our day
|
Our day started out kind of crazy. Aaron had a call right before bed last night, leaving him getting into bed at about 1:30 in the morning. We were up late making salsa and hot sauce. He got another call this morning at 7, and the girls woke up at the time. I got them some granola and yogurt for breakfast and curled up on the couch with a blanket hoping to doze a little bit. Didnt happen. Flora informed me she had gone poo. She sure did, and because she cant stay still it was all over the couch, and floor. YUCK! I got some hot water and started soaking the spots and then washed her up. Went out to the shed and got the carpet cleaner. At this time, Andrew woke up, and because I didnt want him in the mess, he stayed in bed, not at all happy. After it was cleaned, and the kids were settled and Andrew fed Aaron was home. He got home and informed me he couldn't find is radio. Keep in mind these are PRICEY (!) and so we went crazy looking for it. EVERYWHERE. No where to be found. Oh no! We kept looking for a while in come pretty strange places. Like on the roof of the shed, in the chicken pen (just incase it fall off when he climbed in to get eggs).....no where. Then we decided to look under the couch cusions...you would think it would be one of the first places we look. haha, it was there. We both breath a sigh of relief and then had a cup of coffee and ate. This afternoon has been lovley, While Aaron worked on the shed (last final things!) I harvested all our carrots and dug some potatoes for dinner. Flora and Andrew helping me. It hasnt been hot and we got a little rain this morning so everything smelled fresh. Dinner tonight: Home grown beef roast Carrots Potatoes Everything was grown in this area, we buy beef from a friend in this area. Yummy! Tonight I am canning the salsa and hot sauce. I wanted to this morning, but, well...that didnt happen! :) I am also planning our menu for the Feast. Lunches are going to be Mac and Cheese, Sammies and other simple things that are quick and easy. Breakfast will be oatmeal, eggs and fruit. Dinners I am going to have fun with.. The Church has a couple meals planned as a group and We will eat with everyone in our group that is going most of the time. Although I havnt asked people I am thinking we will do a potluck type dinner most evenings. I will make our tradition of Broc Chedder soup one night, I found a recipe for orange glazed chicken that I am wanting to try. As well as Thai Curry. :) MMM....I am drooling. That what I have right now. We went into town yesterday and got the girls some new dresses, most of their dresses where showing a lot of wear, so while the stuff is in the canner I am tossing all the worn clothing and putting together out fits for the girls. I will just pack them now, and so the same for Andrew tomorrow. Trumpets is almost here! I hope you all have a wonderful one! |
