It was hot outside so we would go out in the evenings when it cooled off. Then when the whether got nicer we spent a lot of time in our garden and picking fruit and we canned and dried and made a ton of salsa. It was actually really fun doing all that food storage type of stuff. And I enjoyed having a garden this year.
I have been able to do a few projects at home and love the feeling of actually being productive. But, only when Aaron and I stay up till midnight. So many days I would get to the end of it and have no idea what in the world I accomplished. I do know that sweeping is a huge part of my existence currently. Man I keep vowing that the girls are going to be practicaly slaves when they grow up. I don't think it is possible for any children to be messier eaters than mine. I sometimes look at the kitchen, like I did this morning and just want to pull my hair out. I just don't know. I look back at all the stories of mine and Aaron's ancestors and think, Wow! how in the world did this woman feed all those kids, keep her kitchen clean and the kids cloths wearable and all that sort of stuff, with no space and no modern conveniences. It depresses me actually. Like, what is wrong with me. Maybe I have way too much time on my hands, or maybe I sleep way to much, or maybe I should never be enjoying myself. I shouldn't read or do anything for myself, like all the shows and professionals tell you to. Well, I guess I will just have to get better at it. It is tuff not being hard on yourself sometimes. Well enough of that rant.
So, after all that fun of bottling and stuff, September ended with some fun shopping with my mom. We got the girls some boots and cloths and some fun witches hats and stuff for the Witches night out at Gardner Village. Hopefully we will get to go.
These are many examples of why we don't let Children dress themselves. And why not to let children to themselves with a lot of things.
