We headed to raft river Friday and spent all of Saturday picking, husking, blanching, cutting, and bagging corn to freeze. We ended up with over two hundred bags of corn (each bag had 2-3 cups of corn). It was a lot of work and the kids happily went crazy playing around us all day. We were all exhausted and grateful when the job was done but the heaping pile of corn, along with a newly cleaned deep freeze was awesome.
For labor day we went and had a picnic lunch at a park in Twin to end our summer.
Casey got up early this morning. I lay there half asleep trying to ignore the other door slams and car starts of our departing neighbors (which starts at 5:40 in the morning ending at 7:45 when the flock of tweens thunders down the stairs to school.), and listening for the unmistakable door being cracked open by Peter (no crib means earlier mornings for Peter and we're not loving it). Casey got a sleepy kiss goodbye and my day started with the kids.
Today was also Kendal's kind of sort of start to preschool. We were told last week that we're still on a waiting list for preschool so I decided to just start doing preschool with Kendal. If she gets into the preschool great, if not I'll continue what I'm doing and try to add a playgroup in our week on top of preschool library time we already do. It's sad to see our summer slipping away but that's what happens.
Bring on school, football, apple cider, pumpkins, and leaves!
