Love my kiddos.

Home,visitors and canning

Another week has come and gone .
Tyson had a few better nights where he was up 2 to 3 times but last night was pretty bad again. I tried putting him in a diff room on a bigger bed than his crib mattress, hopefully when he gets used to it it will help. I wasn't quite so tired or just dealt with it better this week. Am still doing green beans tomatoes and peaches.
Weather has been nice hot some days and rain every few days.
Kids conversations
They have been playing ( going to school a) a lot. Austin "you've been late for school so your punishment is you have to eat this hot pepper at lunch" Arianna plays right along till he really does stick a play pepper in her mouth. Then she cries.
We had made icecream.
They had a few bites while I was cooking supper. Austin had put it away as I had told him. She says.
"My belly wants more icecream"
He says your belly caint talk"
She pipes right back with hands on her hips
"My mouth wants some and my mouth can talk!!!"
The teasing has begun .
My sister Susie and abe came Thurs to sat. Was so good to have them here. Took the boat out Friday and grilled on the lake. Was fun to just take the day off and have some r+r.
Tyson plays better now that he can get around but he can also come crawling to mom when he gets fussy. He has hardly been eating any food this week. Spits everything out. Fruit and meat and yogurt is all he ate this week. No bread ,crackers, potatoes or anything like that. Maybe he's teething I don't know what's up.
Derek worked local this week. We brought him lunch 1 day and I took the kids to the playground after. This is becoming a weekly ritual.
Today we had homemade pizza, fresh corn from our garden, fresh tomato soup and to top it all off homemade icecream. Tyson ate like a champ today. Yay for homemade from scratch real food. We are all about no processed or ready made foods here.

Children

This is a week of new things for the children. Tyson started crawling ,day 2 and he has already gotten into my laundry basket,chucked it all over. Tried to get into the kids paint,Arianna was finger painting. Pulled down my broom. Oh the oldest 2 will have to get used to this. Little brother getting into their stuff.
Arianna is really getting into her colours ,know them if I ask which is red etc but caint quite remember them all to say herself. Also knows counting items up to 3 and just guesses randomly from there.
Working on Austin this week with telling the truth. Never had any issues with it before but trying nip it before it gets too bad.
I canned peaches and picked and canned tomatoes today.
