Well we had a great Labor Day Weekend together... We went to the Blackfoot fair with my mom and dad on Sunday. We had to stop by the 'Turkey Shack' for our yearly fill of marinated turkey breast sandwiches. At $6.50 a piece, you enjoy every bite :-) Then there are those awesome 'Tortatoes', the cool homemade potato chips. YUM!!! Bradey also went with us and took his own money that he has earned from mowing Grandpa Brad's lawn and working for him this summer. He bought himself some pretty cool toys and he was so excited. Makenzie stayed home with her cousins Chelsey and Taylin. It seemed like they had a pretty good time. It rained like crazy while we were in Blackfoot. It was cold. We stopped at Sportsmans Warehouse on our way home in Pocatello. That place is amazing!!! Yesterday, the kids went with mom and dad to Kung Fu Panda. Mike and I stayed home and took care of our garden. We shredded zucchini to freeze and I blanched all the green beans and put them in the freezer. I hate to see anything go to waste. So while we were shredding zucchini I made two batches of zucchini bread for Mike's snack for the week. Then we ended up covering the garden last night because it was supposed to get really cold. I have so many tomatoes that are almost ready and I would cry if they froze. And my peppers too. I can't wait to make salsa. My onions are huge!! My pepper plants (all 20 of them) are loaded with peppers but they're just not ready to pick yet. Anyway, our days are busy, but they're going to be well worth it when we have a bunch of food in our freezer this winter. The daycare is going real well and I'm excited that it's working out the way I'd hoped.
