Tried some family camping last night. A local park with some nice campsites. Another family and us, in the great West Keene outdoors. 100 feet from the bathrooms, 100 feet from the local "highway." Some rain, some bobcat (?), some s'mores, etc etc. Needless to say, camping with a 19 month old and two 3.5 year olds for the first time was an..... interesting.... time. Elianas friend had to be taken home to sleep around 3am. I had to take Josh and Eliana both home to sleep by 4:45. (they had gone to bed fine around 8-9). Something about a 3 and 1 year old being completely 100% wide away at 4am just eats away at one's sanity. Slept for 2 hours at home, then went back to the campsite to have breakfast and pack up and go home.
Needless to say, this was an exhausting day. I had originally had planned a "canning party" with a few friends to do some pickles but considering i dont trust myself carrying anything hot, sharp, or breakable, I figured I should postpone.
Folding laundry it is. Hope to be sleeping by 9. I'm sure i'll have two very perky kids come early tomorrow morning!
I was able to make a delicious salsa using tomatoes, pineapple tomatillos, cilantro, onions, garlic and hot pepper from my garden... and lime juice. Yum! Tomorrow I need to plant this most adorable Miniature peach tree i bought the other day. it's crying to be in the ground and i can hear it from my bedroom right now. wait, that's mr. rooster.
Goodnight
