OOCH!!!!

Well, last night after playin' all evening and mowing the lawn. Austin was being so helpful before we went inside to take a bath. He drove his sister over to the garbage can to throw away some of Moose's toys that had holes in them. I went thru the house to drop off the dinner dishes and heard a "blood curdlin' scream" outside.... a second later a second 'scream'..... I went running out side to find Austin holdin' onto the garbage can lid crying.... When I got there he said, 'a bee stung me'.... I said "where?" Here -putting a finger to his lip.... I'm thinking -{What a wierd place to get stung.} So what to do 2 screamin' kids crying from the top of their little lungs!!!
I scoop them up and run into house -- find the baking soda make a paste and slap it on his cheek. Yes, I still had two screamin' kids - I think Addi screamed louder and longer than Austin did as she was scared that Austin had an owieee!!

Sympathy crying from Addi!!!

The swollen' lip and cheek!!! "Mom dont' take any pictures!"

The magic medicine-- Not sure where Tony got this from but he had it in some camping stuff. I worked wonders... no stinging after applying it. Serious, Austin's response was "ohhh, that feels good!!"


The evening ended with mom holding Austin and Dad holding Addi. No Bath!!! oh, well maybe tonight.

I feel asleep with Addi so I didn't even get a chance to post a Blog.

Today, his face is back to normal and no signs of reddness, swelling or pain.

Guess the BEES are out and are staking there claim.

CH-Raisins

Ok!! Just for the record. I am not the DOMESTIC type but lately I have had the opportunity to do a few things... I LOVE SUMMER!!

So Tony went over and got some "more" Cherries from his mom's orchard yesterday and I tested out my new dehydrator that I got for Christmas last year from my dear mother in law. The Cherries actually turned out pretty good not to dried and they actually were like raisins. Tony and I thought they were great but Austin and Addi thought differently. As Addi stated "their turble mom!!" and spit them out in my hand.

So tonight the Kids helped again tonight and I was able to get a few pictures because I couldn't find my camera last night.

Do you know how much longer it takes to pit cherries when you have two little helpers?

The Cherries went from this ----

To Ch-raisins in 12 hours!!! Boy, they are good.
