SO much going on.. *sigh*

Really, I expect to be able to type a whole lot of stuff because I DID say that a lot of things were going on, but in all honesty, its nothing out of the ordinary or even worth blogging about. The weather has begun to get a little cooler which is bittersweet to me, mostly because we've only got electric heaters/space heaters to warm the house this year because we can not afford the heating oil. But we do have a ton of nice comfy blankets as well, and that certainly helps.
Hila, Mom and I canned peaches and peas on Saturday. It was a lot of fun, the kids only got in our way a few times, and generally they listened when we told them to go out of the kitchen. I love my kitchen, I just seriously wish there was a safety gate big enough to block the entry from the living room. I really enjoy doing those things, and with family makes it even better. I am no expert canner, but I'm getting there, hey I can read instructions.
We mowed some of our front yard yesterday, sadly the bees in the ground undug the dirt that Brad threw on there a few weeks ago in hopes that it would smother them and they'd die.. (so sad I know, but those things stung the mess out of me and I don't want them to do it to my kids as well). We could only get so far with the mower before the bees started swarming, and by that time we determined it was time to go inside. The last few blackberries were picked from the bushes, I gave Saria an absolutely HUGE one, was so proud of it honestly. I think I'm going to be canning some more jelly and maybe pie filling with that stuff, as soon as I figure out how to do the pie filling part..
Yesterday we also had to deflea the house yet again. I sent the boys upstairs while I put the carpet powder down and brushed it into the carpet. Brad sprayed the couch with some flea spray stuff, and so far today I haven't had a flea jump on me. Not that I honestly care if they eat me, it's Ben that I'm concerned about, the poor kid is absolutely covered in bites and it looks as though he has chicken pox which I know he doesn't..
SO yep, that about sums up my awesomeness for the past few days. I lead such an exciting life huh!
