Summer Projects---

We have been so busy with our summer schedule,
it has been hard to do any blogging.
I've been collecting pictures, though!
Enjoy looking through what we've occupied our days with for the past few weeks!

About a month ago, we painted our porch-The paint has been peeling for awhile, and was getting pretty bad. After 3 days of hard work, we finally finished!

Elizabeth painting-I'm standing on the rail!


The guys and Susanna


The boys used some black plastic and water to make a slipper-slide!
What a great way to cool off!








Behind our house, there is a low spot where water collects when it rains.
Eric got a plastic raft from a friend-And with our pet duck, Fluffy-the 3 children went "rafting" in the 15 inch water!! It was quite a sight!





We've started to get some our garden produce! This morning Mom, Miles and I went out and dug 3 rows of potatoes. We've also got 40-50 bulbs of garlic, a bucketful of onions, and some beets. Our lettuce, Swiss chard, and Kale have already died out, but we got a lot from them!





Wheat Harvest is almost over in our part of Kansas! Miles and Eric got a chance to go out and ride in the combines though!




That's all for now!!! Have a safe and FUN 4th of July!

  1. How exciting to be getting things from your garden! We don't have anything yet, but the boys and I check our green tomatoes every day, eager for them to be ripe! :)
