blueberries and dinner

Here is one picking of our blueberry bushes.  I am sure they are ready for picking again...we are working on freezing them for now.  We will probably make some blueberry jam or jelly in the fall.  They are so yummy.

Here is Yummy squash for dinner...Curt was a great help.  Everyone likes it except Maggie...no surprise there.

MMMMMMmmmmmmm Summer Foods

Here is Steve's yummy macaroni salad...it was mmm mmm good!  He wanted me to take a picture. :) It tasted as good as it looked.

Sewing has begun.

Sorry I haven't posted much in the last month.  Summer is picking up steam and we have survived 3 camps, vacation to my mom's house, 4 doctors appointments, swimming every day for a week, beginning our 4 H projects, church activities, library reading programs,  piano lessons ( sometimes), boy scouts, activity girls, rearranging bedrooms so each can have "their own space"..... I'm tired...and the laundry has been neglected for too long,  so has family dinners, bed times, cleaning, and all around rules.  Yet to do...meet with our financial guy...who we don't know because the guy we liked left...YUUUUgggghhhh!  Class reunion, swimming with the cubs at pack meeting, more doctor appointments, 4 H judging (after we actually finish), more library programs...and I don't even know what is happening in Aug.  I do know that is when soccer starts :(  3 kids in 3 different levels...saturdays filled with games at different times.  Oh I don't look forward to any of that!  I can't even go there, it makes me want to cry.

Here are some pictures of sewing.  One day at a time...one day at a time...I keep telling myself.
