Often the girls will hide from me and not answer when i call for them and one of their favorite places is in my hutch. This is what i found! :)
I LOVE HARVEST time it is one of my favorite times of the year. I took my girlys home to see Grandma & Grandpa a few weeks ago and they are diggin spuds right now so it was fun to be home during this ABUNDANT and BUSY time with my FAMILY!

I never thought it would be so FUN being so Deceptive! My GARDEN is putting out the crop like noones business and i can't stand to see it go to waste so this last week i have been a slave to my kitchen and my pureeing machine. I have zuchini, yellow squash, carrots, beets & cauliflower purees filling my fridge and i have put them in EVERYTHING! SHHHHH!!! My family doesn't no this, but it is fantastic!
Last night I made some spagetti, but not just any spagetti....i bought the colored "veggie noodles" and then i put yellow squash and carrot puree on them and stirred it up and they ATE it! Not only did my 4 yr old eat hers all gone but she asked for more!! And then the Spagetti Sauce had beets in it. NO ONE KNEW! So this morning i whipped up a batch of Waffle mix and put some carrot puree in it and they didn't say anything. And last week i made the yummy potato soup from the Deceptivly Delicious Cook Book and put the Cauliflower in it as well as yellow squash and it tasted GREAT & they ate it all up!
So not only do i feel like my kids are getting some very good food in them but i feel like i am making use of all my Garden Grown Veggies and not having to waste any of them!
I LOVE IT!
We had some fun Vacations, Trips & nights on the Lake. These are some of the Highlights to recap the Summer.
One of my favorite pics from the summer is this one of Annie & Sade. The girls thought they needed their goggles on cuz they were playing in the water :) he he.
Not only did they not get in any water deep enought to need the goggles but they can't even see out of them cuz their croocked! And they kept them on the whole time! They are too funny!
Probably one of the funnest thing for Sadie this summer was running back and forth with her little friends and just being a kid. I would say about everyday sometimes starting as early as 9am Sadie was asking if she could ride her bike to a friends house and they would go back and forth all day long. It was so much fun for me because this is the first time i just let her out of the house and be so independent and do her own thing.
Oh How I MISS those Blue chairs on the Cruise...they don't look that comfortable but they were and they were heated! One of the FUNNIEST moments of the summer was the boys doing a little Back Street Kareoke on the Cruise. I Love how into it they are.
My FAVORITES are the nights on the LAKE. I feel like we don't go as often as we used too but we still go alot and it is so much fun. The kids LOVE it and Amberly was so good about just sitting in my lap. The GIRLS loved it & I am so grateful for these moments and opportunities that we have together as a family. My GREATEST MEMORIES of growing up are of these exact things and i want to GIVE that to my CHILDREN too.
