Today was a good day. Will got the basement finished. He has been cleaning and organizing down there this weekend. It is looks great. The best part, I can park my van in there now! We still have a little rearranging left on his side of the garage but that can be taken care of after we make some room in the shed.

The kids and I spent some time outside. It was a really nice day. While the little boys napped I mowed the yard and then Tony helped me trim the fruit trees and pull the rest of the tomato plants out of the garden. I still have lots of peppers and eggplants growing, some strawberries too. This is a picture of my pumpkins. I have 3 more on the front deck that are not pictured here. Did I mention I was proud of them?! (The painted "get out" block was painted by my husband. The other side says "welcome" and being almost Halloween and all I decided to display this side since it would be rude any other time of the year.)
I made some bread dough this afternoon with the boys (all 4 of them) and they had fun taking turns kneading the dough. I gave all of them some of the dough to make their own bread for dinner. It was really fun and I couldn't believe they all got along so well. Here are the pics from that. Jake made a dagger, Tony an elephant, Brodie Lilly pads, Drew blobs, and I made a pig or a bear according to Tony.






I am hoping for a good nights rest tonight. Both little boys didn't sleep well again last night. I guess I should stop typing and go lay down. Could be another looong night. Hope everyone had a good weekend. Tomorrow is the start of another busy week for us.

If you want to see crazy bread, go to the St. Joseph Day festival on Mar. 17 at the Italian-American Center. We'll go with you. Free lunch, too. The bread will BLOW YOUR MIND.
