Work and Play

We had both a busy day and one filled with play.  We cleaned out all freezers (5) in the house and re-organized them.  We cleaned them all out and sorted them again.  We inventoried all of the items and entered them in our spreadsheets.  We were also able to figure out that we will need to butcher pigs again in November.

After taking care of the freezers we headed to Wal-mart and picked up some swimsuits, towels, and a life jacket.  We are dress wearing but we do swim with dresses over swimsuits in the rivers in the summer.  Then off for a picnic lunch and a little swimming in the river.  It was a nice treat on this very warm day.

Later we headed home and whipped up a birthday cake.  Little Morgan, my baby girl, turned two.  She isn't the littlest still but she is my baby girl.  I can't believe how quickly she has grown.  Dinner was her choice - hamburgers and potato salad.  We then had a nice cake with fresh strawberries and ice cream.  She got a doll and a ball for her special day.  The ball was liked the best but right away was taken over by the boys.  It must be hard being 2 with two brothers 3 and 4 so close to you in age.

Tonight we sat outside and cut out three dresses.  We will begin sewing tomorrow some dresses for the 4th of July.  We also got some fabric today for 3 more dresses each for our upcoming family reunion.  They always seem to have getting dirty dresses and nice dresses for church, but never enough middle of the road, presentable in public dresses.  With only 3 or 4 each in the latter category, I would like them to have a couple more to make it through a week away.

I put up some peas and some broccoli today.  We still have some more onions to plant this weekend.  I took a count of the number of onions planted versus how much we need for a year and I am short still.  We'll see if we are able to get enough grown.
