Very domestic!

We have been practicing being domestic this last week. We picked too many ears of corn to count, dehusked them, blanched them, cut the kernals off, and bagged them. 28 bags of corn to be exact!

Tonight we picked raspberries from the yard and bottled them! Yeah for us! I am entertaining the idea of making a raspberry pie filling and canning that as well! And of course, we'll probably do one batch of raspberry freezer jam if the raspberries continue to produce well!

And to top it off -- I used coupons and got 10 bottles of salad dressing for FREE! Well, it did cost me tax but $0.26 for 10 bottles isn't too bad!

Good thing you didn't come and visit this week...

This last week has been a rather tough week! Why? We decided that we would no longer give Taylor naps during the day. This is not to say that she didn't need one though! She definitely still needs one, or maybe I do too! I miss the quiet early afternoon when both girls would sleep but I am loving the new routine! Jordan is of course still taking a nap and has been cooperating wonderfully. The whining starts at about 4pm around here. If we are in the car about this time it is guaranteed that Taylor will try to sneek in a little shut eye. But, we have been putting the girls to bed between 630-7pm the entire week. Oh Heavenly. Taylor is so tired that after just a little bit of snuggling she goes to sleep with no tears! It has been wonderful to have an even tear free and with enough time to work on some of my projects! yeah!

Just like Daddy

Michael occasionally wears his boots. Recently, Taylor has wanted to be like her Daddy and even insisted yesterday that Jordan join in on the 'fun'. I wish you could have seen Jordan's face as she was out stomping around in her boots!
