The Busyness of Life

We are so busy right now with harvest and preserving that I am losing track of the days of the week! I have canned peaches, peach pit jelly, tomatoes and have some other things to do later too. I have frozen bags of tomatoes, apples, peppers, onions, and lots more. Most of these I will can into other things like salsa and apple pie fillings later. I do not want to heat the house up too much and have to turn the air on to cool it off when I can wait a while and use the heat from the canning process to warm the house up without using the furnace!
The kids are doing well with school but ds needs to work on his writing and spelling! He still tries to spell phonetically and he hates to write things down, he would prefer to type it but that doesn't always work! He is finally realizing that if he writes it neatly the first time then he will not have to do it again. Dd is learning the letter sounds and numbers (that they stand for something) and basic writing skills (she is doing better at writing than her brother but mostly that is because she enjoys writing and he doesn't!)

Gotta run and get soem lunch ready!
