Don't get me wrong; I love holiday weekends, but they throw me off! Normally Ken has a truck to meet early on Tuesday mornings, but he took today off, so now I'll be even more confused! He told me to make sure he doesn't set his watch alarm tonight and try to get up at 4:30 tomorrow morning (thinking it's Tuesday)! You can be sure I won't let that happen!
We had a weekend that was just busy enough. That's my favorite kind! On Saturday we got up early and went out to pick strawberries. Life has been busy lately, and we almost missed this fun tradition! We caught what was probably the tail end of the season. We got there around 7:45 and they were picked out for the day by the time we left.
Ken, Frances, and I did most of the picking while the boys just ate berries. We still got enough that I made a bunch of freezer jam and I put some whole strawberries in the freezer. I plan on putting the rest through the food dehydrator tonight.
Saturday afternoon Ken had to work. The kids and I had a picnic outside in the sun and then Benjamin and I took naps while Frances and Henry played in the sandbox. I took my nap outside in the sunshine which was quite nice.
Sunday was for church and grocery shopping as usual and then Monday we had a {chilly} play date at the park and then took it easy the rest of the day. I grilled BBQ chicken for dinner last night and for my second attempt on the grill, I think it turned out quite good.
Have a great week, friends!
