Kinda Dragging On Day #3

Day #3 got off to a slow start. We were all tired & it was hard to get motivated. But eventually we got started. The first task was to finish the kitchen & laundry room/pantry. Some scrubbing still needed to be done as well as finishing under the sink, a couple of drawers & the dish cabinets. Sweet Pea also worked on the downstairs bathroom giving it a good scrub & tidying the drawers, under the sink & the little closet.

Bailey keeps his eye on Sweet Pea making certain she didn't miss any spots. Lol!

Before a jumbled mess. Now nice & orderly.

Dave agreed to block off this cabinet from the sink. Right now it is wide open & I dislike that. I am looking forward to it getting it's own defined space.

FOOD PANTRY BEFORE

AFTER

I had it organized before as to what shelf held what items but of course with everyone in it every day it needed to be washed down & straightened up. I like having a shelf for my large, dry & canned baking ingredients, one for my bulk items, another for breakfast foods, one for chips & bread & another for smaller baking ingredients & baking decor.

These drawers are now clean, neat & tidy too!

Fresh produce

The peppers, watermelon & cantaloupe are all from the Farmer's Market. The zucchinis are from our own garden.

I cut up 5 of the peppers for freezing.

The last one I cut up and put out on the table for snacking.

Sweet Pea helped me peel & shred the 6 zucchinis. We measured it out and froze the shredded zucchini in freezer bags. I think Sweet Pea kept some out to bake with this week too.

Dave cut up the cantaloupe & watermelon for dessert tonight. He also added blueberries we bought at the F.M. on Tuesday. Oh, so yummy!

Tomorrow the goals are Princess's room & the Family Room. The latter may take more than a day. Yep. It's that bad. Come back tomorrow for more pics! =)

This Week At The Farm

We made our weekly trip to the farm for our CSA share. This week there were 2 kinds of lettuce, beets, potatoes, cucumbers, something I don't remember the name of, summer squash, zucchini & cabbage. We were allowed to pick our own green beans, basil, sage & flowers.

Me & My New Friend

This is the veggie I forgot the name of. I was told to cut it in bite-sized pieces and saute it in garlic & butter. I'm eager to try it.


The kids favorite part of the farm, after the chickens, is to pick flowers. With 4 children picking bouquets we have quite the decorated house!

Our Bounty

These will help the house look pretty for our showing tomorrow night.
