Stay at home

Today I had a stay at home day and it was hard.  It was hard to just be home.  Not in the sense that I don't want to be here or that my kids were driving me crazy.  But we have been on the go so much that I just mentally have been on vacation from my house wife duties and have temporarily forgotten how to stay home.  We have had an amazing summer full of family, late nights, friends, fires, fair, school shopping, dr appointments, helping Kd with wood project, the play, family reunion, girls camp, pioneer celebration.  It is time to start having some down time so that my kids can transition into school mode.  Even my kids wake up wondering who is coming over or can they play or can we go somewhere. 
I didn't get much done but I did get some laundry done.  I got my first batch of green beans canned.  The kids "had" to pick them. They picked yesterday morning. They were picking while I was over picking a few raspberries.  They were cracking me up.  Savanna was getting grossed out about spiders and bugs and the dirt.  Can't remember what Hallie was complaining about.  But it just made me smile listening to them.  Then Ginger the naughty dog kept running in the road and she wouldn't let us catch her.  She got sent right to time out, after we caught the little wild weenie. Anyways, it was quite an eventful morning in the garden.  I actually had the motivation to cook dinner today.   We had our first batch of fresh corn on the cob from the garden and ooohh it was yummy.  We will be having it a lot.  Other than that it was an uneventful day and I loved it.  We did end it with a small fire out at the pit.  Savanna and Jase are at the fair with friends and Macey is over for the night. - I said "I" was having a no play day:).  My dad and I were the only ones chillin by the fire.  It was nice.
Hallie has to teach the young women lesson tomorrow.  We got all prepared and she is ready.  It is a big job but she will do awesome.  I will report how she did tomorrow.  Good night ya'll
