Nothing beats home grown tomatoes!

Some more Lambourne going-ons... here's a batch of freshly picked cherry tomatoes. The yellow pear ones are really good! I'm just growing cherry tomatoes. The girls love to find and pick them. They're learning their mom is sort of a tomato nazi and that they have to be so-red-they-couldn't-get-any-redder to be picked.

I just had to show you all this. So for the past few months whenever bars of soap would get down to a sliver and you couldn't use it anymore, I'd put it in this jar. I'd been buying the natural soaps lately and I hated throwing any part of them away. Anyway, so I melted them together, added a few tablespoons of water, and molded them together- and they work GREAT!! Rod thinks they look like barf, and maybe they do, but it's great recycling!

Mom- Lizzie has taken your "books for babies" philosophy to a whole other level.

Lizzie's bear after she got into my buttons and pins- I can't tell if it's voodoo or super creative.

She also did his bum.

Our weekend on the Farm

We had a fun weekend getting away from it all in Adin. We were busy painting, planting a garden, fixing sprinklers, and of course wrestling. Carrie, you would love this place!

It Can't Be True.....Can It?

The kids came home with some disturbing (depressing, shocking, gut-wrenching...you fill in the blank) news. 10 days of school left.



Someone please help meeeeeeee........
