Well, today the "men" got up to go fishing with Grandpa.  I got up, made the bed & coffee.  Abigail is sound asleep & I sit here in a quiet house except for my typing.  --These are the mornings I really enjoy!  It's cloudy & a bit foggy out. --I like that look too early in the morn.

We had a great few days with my mom.  She went home yesterday & made it safely, praise God.  She has made the drive a few times alone, & is a good driver, but I always worry being a woman alone stopping & such.   She is much braver than I am in that reguard. 

We did still get school done (minus one day to run around and shop with mom)  Our read aloud this time is a fun book.  Charlotte's Web.  We have all seen the movie, but none of us have ever read the book.  --It is a really cute story.

We're trying to bring our school year to an end, but unfortunately we still have a bit to do.  Abby has about 2 months more & Tyler about the same to finish their work.  They are NOT AT ALL  happy about this.  We've had a pretty good year, but we've taken some days off here & there and I figured we'd just double up here and there but then the babysitting came in.

Keeping my sisters children the past 3 1/2 months has been a blessing in a way but it's also put us quite behind in our schoolwork & our daily household duties.  I have gotten SO FAR off of my schedule & I must admit MY children have taken advantage of it too.   The babysitting was suppose to be for 3 months & my sister avoids any conversation about it.  So, come Monday morning I've just got to have a conversation with her and just let her know what I can & can't do. 

I want to help in anyway I can & I LOVE those two kids, but my helping out for a short time has really passed.  It's could watch them sometimes, or even 1 day a week, but that's it.  We have other things we do and I just hope she can understand that.  BECAUSE, I know my sister.  No matter how nice/sweet/loving I want to be, she will probably not hear it.  She will probably get mad & not talk to me or let me see them for a while. ------I pray I'm wrong!!! 

Well, enough about that!!!

We got our garden in this past weekend.  Here's what we're growing:

Big beef tomatoes

Bradley tomatoes (pink)

Arkansas travler tomatoes

Green bell pepper

Sweet banana pepper

Jalapeno pepper

Italian cherry pepper

Cucumbers

Yellow sweet corn

Zucchini squash

Straight neck yellow squash

Our peas have taken off & I should be able to pick some of the sugarsnaps in the next few days.

I hope you all have a great weekend & I plan on having one too!
