This and That...And Oh yes....Corn!

I am lovin summer! I can't believe that August is already here and the summer is slowly coming to an end. It has been a very mild summer and that is the way I like it. Heat makes me cranky, and when mama ain't happy.. well, you know the rest.

One of the best things about living here is the fresh fruit and vegetables that are in abundance when harvest time comes. We found a lady selling corn from the back of her little El Camino a couple of days ago and we bought 10 ears of corn for $2.00! How awesome was that! We cooked it up that night and my kids thought it was so yummy that they were begging, yes begging, for seconds and thirds! When have they ever asked for seconds on vegetables? (When have they ever even asked for vegetables?) So, late Saturday afternoon we stopped by her truck again and my husband bought 20 more ears of corn for $4.00. By 7:00 pm Sunday we were already down to only 10 left. My kids were so cute as they were mowing down their corn on the cob.

Well, we finally had a full week and weekend here at home. That is a first since the last week in June! It has been a busy and wonderful summer for us. We still have 2 camps this next week (dance in the morning and soccer in the evening) and then we will be traveling back to MT for a wedding, then school starts! I can't believe that the first day of school is coming up. I am amazed at how quickly kids grow up. I have really tried to take in each moment with my kiddos this summer. Even though we were very busy, I made sure to slow down and cherish the things that they were saying and doing. I have even decided to start a journal of the wonderful little memories and other odds and ends that I don't want to forget. I hope that I will keep up with it, as I think it will someday be a treasure.

One final note...as my husband was reading through all the postings since the beginning of July, he said to me, "How come you have so many hits on the view counter, but nobody leaves comments?" . So, I sadly agreed that the comments are few and far between. If you are visiting please leave a little note, or something. I would love to know who really is reading. Maybe all the hits have been search engines. OK, that's depressing, thinking about that!
