Another Tuesday

So I have sticky carpet. Only in the small hallway from the garage to the rest of my house. How on earth - may you ask. Well from syrup - of course! I walked in this morning to find Sophia happily eating from syrup and fuzzy covered waffle peices carefully strewn across this small stretch of carpet. Who on earth would have given this child small waffle with syrup in the hallway? No one is fessing up. It is going to be a long day.

I CAN CAN!

Okay, so I saw on her blog that Lauren can can. Then Andrea told me she and Julie can can. I thought, okay, maybe... So 50 lbs of tomatoes and several hours of work from my sisters later - I can CAN!!!! Salsa to last us through the millenium. :) And more freezer space - since I figured out how to use my tomatillos. Now we'll all just pray we don't die from botulism. Thanks, Amber and Lynzie. I never could have done it without you.

School Life

Well we've settled in a little to the schedule. We are ready for the weather to pretend we're really in fall. The girls have had a bunch of adventures. I cut Sophia's hair. I usually just mess up on my own bangs. Unfortunately, Sophie fell victim. Strangers have been asking - did her sisters get ahold of the scissors? Nope. just her mom. Also a new bird named "ernie" - Beth earned him with points. Then Grace pulled all his tail feathers out. I felt horrible. He is recovering. We went to Dbacks game. Beth loved the cotton candy. Sophie loved that she got to stay home with Grandma. The girls are in dance and having fun. Dave is keeping his lawn pretty. And I am working on QUILTS!!! :) Here are some pics.
