Lots going on lately. Kids started school. We hung out with friends at their family cabin... why doesn't anyone in our family have a cool cabin? And I made bunches of jam. Utah Peach jam to be exact. YUM.
Getting ready to go to a friends house one night while I was thinking about the following Monday contimplating how long it would take me to 'jam' by myself with 32 lbs of peaches. Did I mention that they were Utah peaches. They smelled wondermus.
Scott looked at the box and asked if I would make a peach pie for that evening. I believe my reply was "um no but you can."
With a puzzled look on his face... "I don't know how to make a home made peach pie."
"No but you learned how to make crepes using a recipe so I know that you can do this."
"seriously?"
"Yes babe. I am already making a chocolate puddle torte." (wayyyy too rich btw)
"Ok what do I do?"
"Get out the trusty orange 70s Betty Crocker cook book and check out peach pie. Make a list of what you need that we don't have and I'll help when you need it."
" Um. . . " slight hesitation "alright. Let's do this."
I must say that he did awesome! I showed him how to cut the shortening in correctly and helped him roll it out and that is pretty much it. He was too cute. Any pictures that look staged were staged and were not my idea. He thought that he would be funny with flour on his face. I laughed so hard I had to sit down.
We received a pounding of rain. As usual our sand under the swing set became an irresistible mud puddle. The same day that daddy was hard working on the shopping for peach pie ingredients the kids begged to play outside. Daddy was wary but mom is fun when it comes to this kinda stuff. I think that every kid should get to jump in mud puddles and make mud casltes and pretend mud pies. Well these kiddos surly did all of those things that day. D was hesitant to get into the mud too much E was at home painting all of the swing set and slides with mud and M loved jumping in it and swinging through it. All in all when the kids were done they got naked and were carried one by one to a bathroom to shower or bathe. Kinda hard since E is getting big and daddy had to close his eyes while I tried to run her muddy dripping body to our shower, laughing so hard the whole way. They had sand under their toenails that was not fun for them while I cleaned it out.
