So, we took those jalapeños and our tomatoes and some storebought onions and some green peppers and even yellow peppers from our garden and made and canned salsa!

Awesomeness in a jar.


GEDC0524
It could have even used more jalapeños.

We received a generous donation of fresh jalapeños from a friend's garden.

So, we did this.

Yum!

GEDC0522 After!

Also today, we had some fun with homeschooling and Timothy was writing his words on balloons for our new curriculum we are trying (The Good and the Beautiful by Jenny Phillips) (we love it so far!)

GEDC0512
And, what do kids that aren't doing homeschooling do?  My graduate is playing with my camera.

And doodling.  He does make awesome doodles, of faces, here, apparently.

The silly faces of Ginny.


Michael caught this one... he was going for the funny mouth, but he got the nose.

She loves to find a place in the closet and takes some of her siblings' art supplies... and makes art.

Just another pleasant smile from Michael.

Michael looks indignant at something or someone.  I still love his expressions.  We're going to miss him when he leaves for parts unknown, now coming sooner than later.

Friday the 4th of September was our first day of school.  It was mostly cleaning out last year's stuff and making room and making plans for this year, but we also discussed routines and celebrated a new life- our monarch butterfly emerged!
