This is what happens on the weekends

Here is what we did all weekend, a bushel of tomatoes and 3 lbs of hot peppers...

This many tomatoes makes10 pints of crushed tomatoes, taking all day on Saturday to can, or

6 half-pint jars of tomato sauce, taking all of Sunday morning to can. Thinking that I might not do tomato sauce again next year. The yield doesn't seem worth it. What do you think?

3 lbs of pickled banana peppers and jalapenos

While I canned veggies all weekend, this is what Dad and Holden did:
Holden pulled his chair into the living room this morning to watch Sunday morning cartoons with Dad

Seems like the had the easier weekend :)

It was a Matter of Time

For about a month now we have known that Holden has figured out how to take his diaper off when he is down for a nap. Well, daycare has know this too. The caveat is that he only does it if he doesn't have pants on over the diaper. Daycare put him down today without his shorts and only a diaper. The story we were told was he got his shorts wet when they were playing outside, so they took them off to dry. Well, they had a very stinky surprise a bit later, when Holden decided he didn't want to wear his poopy diaper anymore. After laughing when Jeremy told me the story, I decided 1. Glad it was them and not us 2. I guess I'll send a few extra pairs of shorts to daycare tomorrow.

Great Smoky Mountains-Crocker Reunion

Photo montage of the family reunion in the Smoky Mountains.Cabin we all stayed in. Slept 54. Great accomodations but for some reason the management company thought 2 regular sized trash bins were big enough for 40 peoples trash over 3 days.

4 generations of Crockers (and the significant others)

Holden and Great Grandma resting at the bottom of the lookout tower. 1/2 mile hike but at a 30 degree angle all the way up.

Making sure we remembered that we made it to the top of the hill

Bush's Baked Bean factory, we stumbled upon the place on our way to Pigeon Forge, TN. In true family vacation style, we stopped, went to the gift shop and got our photo taken.
