Last Sunday: My 3 little girls, Kaitlyn, Makenna, and Talea.
Kaitlyn, just like her buddy Kylie did, picks out their clothes and does each of their hair. Today she did one bun in her own hair, two in Makenna's, and 3 in Talea's.
Monday: First day of school! I know it sounds early to start July 18 but we ended in April because we had the mission farewells and all the kids home and stuff going on in May. So we're ready to go back! Especially since it's hot and rainy, all our camps are over, and there's nothing else to do. We're going to take off all of October when the weather is gorgeous and we'll play and work outside all day.
Anyway, Samuel put our new pens and pencils in a big bag and wanted us to open it like a present.
We get the same Bic pencils every few years and each child always gets the same color. :)
Scott, our UPS driver delivering Lexi's new suitcases she bought with graduation money.
I walked by and saw the 3 little kids doing a drawing video and asked "What is that?" and laughing they said it's a cactus in a pot singing. Haha. Apparently it was a Cinco De Mayo drawing.
A cow had her baby in front of our house and the calf died. It was so sad.
It still had the sac on his face.
Soon the buzzards came but the poor mama cow kept shooing them away.
Never had that many buzzards circling our house before.
Tuesday: Happily doing school. We really love it. It feels so productive to be up and learning first thing in the morning.
The 3 matching girls again.
This week's garden photos.
I love the blackberries and am propagating a lot more. We didn't get any plums, cherries or apples because of the deer and squirrels and birds so I'm thrilled we have plenty of blackberries. I do go gather them once or twice a day.
My first little pumpkin is ready! Makenna's that she wrote her name in rotted. :(
Hopefully we'll get lots more and the squirrels don't eat them. They're hungry this year b/c we don't have any nuts. Last year we had millions of pecans and walnuts but this year there are none.
Wednesday: Andy and Sam reading at the bookmobile.
Today's fancy hairdo. :) Kaitlyn had gotten a hair book for Christmas and I love that she uses it almost every day and loves to do her sisters' hair.
Sausage meatballs and squash. I took this to thank Kylie for this pan she got me for my birthday and had all the kids go in on. It's been great to have a big frying pan.
Lexi's plate.
Friday: Today's tomato patch.
Just a month ago on June 10--what the tomato patch looked like. Crazy how fast food can grow sometimes!
I should have thinned it more but at the time animals were eating the tops of the tomato plants and/or digging them up so I left more than usual of my seedlings to see if any would survive. Then suddenly they were so big.
Andy's zucchini.
Hugging and jumping and chanting, "We're the triplets! We're the triplets!"
Tilly took this one of Andy with his big zucchini.
On Blueberry Hill looking down toward our house.
I tucked Tilly in bed and left 3 kids cleaning up from our movie party and took these 3 to pick on Blueberry Hill.
Saturday: Picking more off the bushes by the house so we can make jam.
Yum! Eating homemade jam on bread after their Saturday night bath.
Today: My little pioneer girls dressed up for Pioneer Day.
