Let's just say this wasn't my favorite weekend of all time. There were moments of pure happiness but I think my "peaches" made for a not so fun weekend. It started out great. I had the pleasure of watching Max (my nephew) Friday-Saturday at about 5PM so his parents could celebrate their 5 year wedding anniversary (Grammy was in Chicago so I got to actually watch him) and I watched Jace on Friday night for Jen & Joe's date (we swap babysitting once a month :))
Bryce's parents bought a new camper and don't have room to store it so it's on our side yard. This is the boys watching Byce (Bryce---as Max says it) and Papa back the trailer up. They seriously stood there for a solid 5-10 minutes and then kept going back over and over again fro about 20+ minutes. It was the cutest thing. I think my son is going to be a giant. He isn't that much shorter than Max (the toehead on the right) who is 23 months (about) and Jace is slightly taller than Max who is 18 months. SERIOUSLY! My son is only 11 almost 12 months and he's not that much shorter than these boys! AHHHH!!!!

This is Max the next day in the trailer with Papa. He does this really cute thing when he sits down and pats the seat next to him. Papa was a good sport and stopped working to sit next to him and pose for a picture.
Then Saturday night came, I was supposed to can my peaches during the day and I have yet to master two kids (since I don't have two) and so I went to start them Saturday and ended up having to take Robert to Instacare. He's ok, just a mild skin irritation that hurts when he pees so he SCREAMS (my child DOES NOT CRY) so needless to say I didn't get my peaches done.
So Sunday, I accidentally slept in and around 11 start getting everything ready. I'm just about to mix the syrup and the water is ready for blanching and I grab the top box and it leaks fluid. Yep you read that right. 60 lbs of peaches totally ROTTEN! I was so frustrated. They were ready on Thursday but I had my Stampin Up Card Club and then Friday night I had 3 little boys and Saturday I chased 2 little boys and Saturday night at Instacare so it was just poor timing but my hubby was fabulous and just kept telling me he was sorry. I just was looking forward to peaches all winter and to have something healthy to feed Robert. I mean, come on, I got 60 lbs of peaches for $30 and I can't find them anyway for cheaper than $20 for 24 lbs now!!! UGH!

So sorry about the Peaches. i admire your attempt! Robert is getting big! He is adorable.
Oh that's terrible! But I will admit that I'm impressed that you even know how to can peaches!! I'm going to attempt my first strawberry jam this week...I might be calling you:) Also, Robert is probably the cutest little giant I have ever seen!!! You're awesome for watching THREE little boys!
