canning,canning & more canning...

Oh, and making jam!
I've been busy this week! Peaches and pears and raspberries all came in at the same time. So, my nights have been occupied and I've had trouble finding the time to update our blog. Can you imagine that? Craziness! But, it's my first time canning fruit and I do enjoy it! The best feeling is when you're all done and you're pantry is stocked full!
My kids have been off of school for the past week and 1/2. They go back next Wednesday. I think that we are all ready! We're going kinda crazy! We haven't really been able to go anywhere or do anything special because we're saving up our $ for Germany next summer. We start planning with Jens's family this Sunday! We're very excited!
Will is eating cereal now! Such a big boy! By his facial expressions it doesn't seem like he likes it very much, but he still eats it. I think it's helping him keep from spitting up, so that is a very good thing!


To those who live here in the Valley, I'm sure you're feeling weird about seeing all the Halloween decor around when it still feels like summer! If you're not maybe I'm the only one. But I gave in and let my kids decorate and pick out their costumes. Briggs is going to be the same ol' Scary Skeleton with black hooded cape and bloody sword guy! (I tried to deter him, yet again! Didn't work!) But, my girls have decided to be Dorothy and the Wicked Witch and we got Will a lion costume (since he likes to make growling noises!) They'll be so cute! I'll post pics as soon as I get them.
That's it for now! Nothing really major to report! Although, I would like to pass along that my friend Laurie & I have started sewing cute burp cloths for baby gifts. We've created a blog to kind of show them off.....a little business on the side. Ya know, something that started as..." Oh, we could make this... "
So, check it out and if you need baby gifts you know where to look! It's called krissi lu's under WHAT A SITE...
our cute smiling boy!

On Saturday the kids were helping us wash our cars. Will was sitting in his Bumbo (loves it!) and watching Briggs playing with his remote control Hummer! He loved it! He couldn't keep his eyes off of it! The funny part was when Briggs kept driving it in a circle around Will's chair! I actually thought his head was going to start spinning!
