This past week has been busy with canning and school work with the boys. I (with my dear hubby's help) managed to get 24 quarts of spaghetti sauce, and another 21 quarts of tomato juice! The boys love when I'm cooking up stuff in the kitchen... they're always right there watching everything. I would still love to get enough applesauce for the year done, but we're waiting for the apples to start dropping. Peter's parents have an apple tree that we'll use the apples from. To get through a year, I'm going to need about 120 quarts, so it'll be a few days/ nights in the works. Thankfully, we don't have to spend the time to core and peel the apples before cooking, thanks to my super handy food strainer! It separates all the junk from the good stuff by itself, and is one of the best buys I've made!
The boys have been singing a lot now. My mom left a CD for the kids and they LOVE it! They set up their little chairs in rows and take books and pretend they're singing from the book. I did get a pic of it this morning, so I'll try post some pics later. Just too cute!
Caleb has also shown that he is growing up spiritually as well. He cut his thumb fairly bad last week, and instead of screaming for hours, he asked God to help the pain go away. After the pain subsided, he told me that God helped him not hurt so much. What a blessing to know that our children are learning the Truths that are being taught them!!! To go to God for help and thank and give the glory to Him when he answers those prayers! May we have such a child-like faith!
Right now its time to hit the books with Caleb, as I am going to be visiting my sister this afternoon, so I'm hoping he'll be done by then. He does really well with the book he's in, but I'm going to have to start looking for something a little more challenging for him. I'd love to have a day and check out a couple teacher's stores around here to see what they have to offer.
