Goin' to Montana

So I  have been drying pears (at 25 cents a pound!!) and here is my proof (so when I am old I can remember how crafty I was in the olden-days!) I tried sun drying vs dryer drying. Sun drying worked totally good, but took two days - just FYI.

And speaking of crafty - here we are working on one of our discount-crafty-store-crafties (of course it turned into a fairy house).

We went somewhere to play one day and everyone just zonked out! In the middle of an average day! Go sleep!

On the way to Montana last weekend we stopped for gas and saw a sign at a Chinese restaurant for gluten free and MSG free food. They had a WHOLE Chinese GF menu. Josh LOVES Chinese, so that was good. If you are in Idaho Falls - stop in at the Schwhan Garden (or something like that).

Angie and Katie were also there, cleaning out some of Grandma's clothes and storage areas. I inherited NINE bins of fabric and sewing stuff!! It consolitated down to six bins and there will be crafting!!
 Here Angie tackled the food storage/gun ammo section of a bedroom.

 General playing:

And of course we went to feed the ducks:

And everyone rolled down the hill.

On Saturday Grandpa found a cabin and a friend and we went (by which I mean everyone but momma) when swimming in the lake! The kiddos had a BLAST!

 Michale's suit didn't quite make it into my bag, so he went in his undies:

So with all that fabric, Josh bought a trailer-thingie bench=thingie for the back of the car. There was like 3 inches of clearance!But we made it home, WITH all the bins:

Then on Tuesday Josh had to go to Logan to (try) and get his good work computer back. We went to see Cassidy's new horse!

So Josh got there and his computer exploded AGAIN. And we went home empty-handed.
The government sequestration ended today, so we go back to a 6:30 p.m. daddy-arrival-time. Sigh. 4:30 was AWESOME! But we will be fine. Josh has testing for the next two weeks at night, so he gets overtime anyway! Yah!
