Thoughts on the Weekend

  • We go to the farm to buy produce to supplement what we get from our own garden.  Boo goes to the farm to feed produce from our garden to the animals in the petting zoo.  It’s the circle of life.
  • Food prep tally for the weekend – 2 bushels of tomatoes and 2 bushels of corn, along with several onions, jalapenos, bell peppers, cloves of garlic, and my own special blend of 11 herbs and spice made 13 quarts of spaghetti sauce, 13 quarts of chili base, and 16 quarts of frozen corn.  
    • Next up – tomatoes from our own garden.  I’m thinking salsa.
    • One bushel of tomatoes, chopped into 16 pieces apiece, will fit into a 16 quart turkey roaster.
  • Apparently, we are slowly buying up the available supply of quart sized mason jars in Louisville.
    • Now I get to build shelves to hold them all.
  • Singing “Where is Thumbkin” with a child who has a speech impediment can cause some rather comedic results.
    • It did, however, turn in to a good lesson on how to say “TH” properly.
  • Taking your child to a birthday party with his school friends will do a lot to raise your opinion of your child’s behavior.
  • Parental pride note of the day – Girlie Bear asked if she could read my copy of The Hobbit this afternoon, and it looks like she’s already 1/3 of the way through it.
  • Heartbreaking moment of the weekend – Walking through SuperHumongousMart this afternoon, I heard a woman say to her daughter “You only have to go for another year and then you can drop out.” as they were shopping for school supplies.
  • Things you don’t want to hear #2371992 – “Boo, why is your shirt in the toilet?”

    Small Fry announced to her twin, as we were going home from church today, “I have a baby in hewre.” Not as scary as the shirt/toilet combo, but certainly made my eyes boggle since I couldn’t see where she was pointing.
