Another rainy Monday...

Looks to be a long day today. It will be raining most of the afternoon, so the boys got kicked outside this morning for a little while, but they'll be stuck in the house this afternoon. I think the play dough will have to be pulled out of the closet in an attempt to keep them occupied for longer than 2 minutes, which has been a challenge already. The only thing that has occupied them that long so far today was fighting haha. Oh yeah, and spraying water all over the kitchen. Gotta love it.

The weekend was decent. Saturday was pretty typical, getting work done for Sunday, and maybe a little extra. Peter ended up being gone most of the day again, but he managed to get some of the garden planted later in the day. We're not going to have too much selection this year, but what we're planting, there's going to be lots of it. We figure I'm going to have to do 100+ quarts of spaghetti sauce, plus salsa. We use the spaghetti sause for pizza sauce so we go through quite a bit of it. I'll maybe do 20 quarts of salsa. On top of all that, I have to do both dill and sweet pickles, freeze whatever beans and corn we grow, squash we ask for and about 5 bushel worth of applesauce. It's going to be a very busy summer here!

Yesterday we tried something different. We didn't let the older 2 boys sleep in the afternoon to see what our night was going to be like. Daniel zonked out during church, so he was really well behaved, and Caleb went to bed a whole lot easier than he usually does on Sundays. I think we'll keep doing that! :)

This week is looking to be so-so for busy. Wednesday morning is Park Day with people from church (the boys have been counting their sleeps) and Friday night we get to see Peter and Christiana!!!! We haven't seen them since before they got married. We totally missed their wedding as it was the day after Kimberly was born and Peter put his foot down and said no. :) I'm so excited to see them again!!!

But the boys are playing with the water outside again, so I better get a'goin'.

Hope you all have a great day and week!
