So I took the boys grocery shopping this morning, which I must say is rather a feat. I park as close to a cart corral as possible, load the boys up at the car, shop, unload the boys & groceries, then take the cart back. One of my main obstacles when shopping is that Eli has to ride in the basket so he likes to play with all the food we're getting. Luckily today I kept him away from the eggs by distracting him with the lentil package. :) And I do have to say, he really is good about not touching food I tell him not to.
After we got home from Kroger & Walmart (yes, we went to BOTH stores) eli ate and napped. During nap time today I finally got around to canning the tomatoes matt has grown. Here they are all red and pretty sitting on the counter.
And here they are all red and pretty crushed up and sealed in jars. We got 4 quarts out of what has ripened so far, but it was easy enough, although rather time consuming, so I'll be canning more as they ripen.
Yesterday during nap time I spent my time obsessing over recipes and new ideas for healthy snacks. So today I made this homemade granola and let me just say it was E-A-S-Y! Only 30 minutes and I got about 6 cups!
Now I don't have to spend $3 on a box of this.
That was my friday. Well, I also vacuumed, cooked dinner, did a load of laundry, and various other tasks, but you get the idea. :)
Tomorrow Matt is starting on a swing set for eli...yeah!
On saturday I watched the boys and matt worked on building eli a swing set!!!!! Isaac is modeling it for you.
Here's eli this morning helping his daddy put on the finishing touches.
First time swinging on the new swingset! So proud of a handy man!

And yes, that is a mosquito bite on the BOTTOM of isaac's foot. Poor baby. He got attacked in the house of all places. I think we can thank his big brother for being as slow as molasses getting in the door! Hehehe.
Eli helped of course.
And Isaac chilled and read the paper.
---------------------------------------
And Isaac fell asleep. His newest will-not-eat-solids tactic.
Bring on Sunday.
So that's just what we did. That's right folks- we dressed like cows and got 3 FREE meals! Can't beat that for a Friday night out.
Gotta love Chick-Fil-A.
My big project is to "redo" our master bath. This included painting the vanity white, painting the walls and wainscoting, and giving everything a GOOD cleaning. We were also going to tile the floor with the leftover tile from Mark & Diane's bathrooms. Unfortunately we were just a few tiles short so the linoleum remains for now. 
And here's the after. The walls before were a yellowish color and now they're khaki. 
Yesterday I slip covered matt's work chair. The seat cushion had come off so I fixed it and recovered the seat and the back. It used to be an "office" blue color as seen in the next picture.
I really DO NOT like doing upholstery work! I am reaffirmed on this feeling after only a 2 hour project.
Today during boys' nap time I made Peach freezer jam! Enough said!
And now for my best project of all- get Eli up from his nap and be his mommy!!
