What to do?

The weekend started off with a trip to Grammie and Papa's for a "fun day" before Brock heads to school Monday. We made a trip to Blockbuster to get a few movies for the weekend so the kids could have their campout in the living room. They ended up picking out the movie Bolt, and Mommy and Daddy got Taken and Revolutionary Road. The kids LOVED Bolt and will probably watch it a few more times before we have to take it back. Taken was an awesome movie, and Revolutionary Road was not whatI expected. I was looking for a "warm fuzzy" kind of movie, and it was anything but that.

After the kids' fun day at Grammie's on Friday, we took them fishing that night. We raked in the mini-bluegill, and it was lots-o-fun! We did our running around on Saturday, and then the kids had a campout on Saturday in the living room. After supper, it was time for s'mores and then Bolt...again. They ended up falling asleep around 10:00 in thier sleeping bags on the floor.

Today we canned our first batch of stewed tomatoes! It ended up being 12 quarts, and there will be plenty more in the coming weeks. I guess we just have the best tomato plants ever (no hard feelings, Papa!).

The kids dug up their carrots on Thursday, and I was surprised how big they were! We got carried away planting the seeds, so they should have been bigger than they turned out.
Carrots!
