Ok, so we decided to bottle another batch of peaches this year. So, Rich got 5 boxes and we got started. Friday, we did about half the batch - the other half needed another day to ripen. My friend, Maria, came over to learn/help...YEA! She is the proud "mama" of her very own bottled peaches!!
On Saturday (after the BYU game and the Utah game) we got started on the last batch. However, given that it was about 5:30 pm and that about the time Lucy gets fussy, we were starting to get VERY discouraged. The solution came in the form of a frontpack carrier for Lucy. I put her in, strapped in on me, and got to work - Oh how I WISH we had taken a picture - I stood at the kitchen sink peeling and slicing (very carefully, of course) peaches for over two hours. I must say it was fun, even if I had a slight backache when we were done.
Now all our peaches are bottled and we can finally clean up the mess (tomorrow).
p.s. Luke was running in and out of the house the entire time - playing on the swingset, playing with toys in the house, just running in and out (literally), he stayed busy.
