Back Again

I am back again! The past few weeks have been busy with end of school projects, repainting the kitchen/dining room, working in my flower beds and all the other things mothers do. We had a very relaxing weekend. Saturday was spent working outside. On Sunday evening I had Deans family over.

Yesterday I did some baking,and helped Dean and the children pick up rocks in the "back 40"we spent the evening sitting around a campfire toasting marshmallows.

Our camp fire. The children loved listening to the bamboo poles snap and crack. Tristan thought we should cook some bamboo. It is supposedly edible. Dean found a recipe but there were several steps you needed to follow and I am almost certain no one will like it. We decided to leave bamboo off of the days menu.

Tomorrow is the last day of school for the 2013-2014 term. Bring on Summer vacation!  It always takes us a little while to adjust to the new schedule but I enjoy being able to have a more relaxed schedule and picnics, swimming, cook outs and all the other fun things that come with summer!
