Hello September and Labor Day Weekend!!

A busy week with Adam working on the deck and Amy working in the gardens and getting the kids ready for school.  We canned one last batch of tomatoes (we have no more quart jars), Amy made tomato basil jam, we made spaghetti sauce, and homemade pizza :)  We hope that everyone had a relaxing long weekend and remembered to be patient and kind with their fellow human beings.

Two crafts that Ayson made in less then 30 minutes: a recycle bin and and parachute


On Saturday, Amy and Ayson went to watch our neighbor fly his remote control model planes.  Addie did not want to go so she stayed home and helped Adam with the deck (putting screws in the tool so that Adam could secure the deck).

Check out that smile!

On Saturday afternoon, Amy made another carrot cake from our own carrots- it went fast!!  This picture was taken not long after the cake was frosted - and was still warm...hahaha.

Ayson and his homemade lemonade


YAY!  The deck is complete!!! Now just the pergola, gate, stairs, landing, a bench seat....
Fabulous job, Adam!!!!


Ayson working on his Halloween costume while Addie and Amy played Outburst Jr (with assistance from Adam and Ayson :)


Ayson's costume and latest obsession: Boris from Bendy and the Ink Machine


Ayson and Adam went to Hobby Lobby to pick out materials: Ayson wanted it to be an entirely homemade costume - no black turtle neck for him!!!  So, he bought thread and sewing needles and pins (yes, Amy has all of these materials but he wanted his own set:)
Ayson sewing the legs for the overalls.




Tada!  The overalls are almost complete!!
