tomatoes and the fair

Our first tomatoes from our garden:
We went to the fair last week with my sister and my nephew. We couldn't stay very long but the kids had a blast, they love rides! I can't wait until they are big enough to go to Cedar Point! We saw a sheep shearing, a cow milking and lots of animals and their babies.

making bread and other things

Perry's 10 year old cousin stayed with us on Sunday night. She is really good with the kids, so it was pretty easy having her here. Maybe easier than when she's not. Although the kids were up 5:45 because they were in the same room...
We made bread yesterday. We baked one loaf and froze three, but I ended up giving A. the one we baked, so we'll be throwing one of the other loaves in the oven today. The kids love to make bread.

Because we had company yesterday, I didn't get everything accomplished that I wanted. We didn't read our Bible story for the week, but we did teach the kids their memory verse and song and we talked abut what the story will be. Ethan did his reading lesson and they both had some time to play reading games on the computer.
Today is going to be crazy, too. We have a Not Going Back to School Day at the park at 1pm, a baby sitter to interview at 3:30, a house to clean for Bible study tonight, lessons to do and the list goes on. Hopefully, it will all get done!
Tomorrow night the kids start Wacky Wednesday at the YMCA. They are excited to go back after the summer.
