little things going on around the homestead

Each and every night I think and plan for the next day. What needs to be done! The bugs and I are staying very busy these days. Our summers are always busy. Here are our plans for the week:

~~~Monday night: our boy bug had his Tae Kwon Do testing. He becomes a blue belt Thursday night! We are so proud!
~~~Tuesday: more canning. We have made two batches of Lime Pickles and one batch of Bread & Butter pickles. We will be canning Sweet Pickle relish today.
~~~Wednesday: Music lessons for the two older girls.
~~~Thursday: More canning and boy bugs TKD awards ceremony.
~~~Friday: Music Recital
~~~Saturday: Weeding the garden and more canning!
~~~Sunday: Church and REST!!!

I was also thinking of things that the bugs and I would like to do that doesn't require work. Things that we need to take time for and enjoy together.

*Go to the peach orchard right down the road from us and pick some delicious peaches!
*Go to the creek and enjoy cold water, sandy toes and ice cold lemonade!
*Take a vote on what animal we want to do a unit study on! We REALLY enjoy our unit studies on animals!
*Eat lots of homemade Popsicles and homemade fudge pops!
*Watch the bugs run through the sprinklers while I am in the garden!
*Bake some yummy bread and healthy treats together!
*Take time to always have family worship, singing and giving praise to our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ!

Family is the most important thing! I was reading my good friends blog and was inspired to remember how important it is not to "blink"! You might just miss your babies growing! Thanks, Jennifer

God Bless!
