Today was a skirt sort of day, according to Mia. And since I didn't feel like arguing with her, I let her pick out her own outfit. She's got her own sense of style, that one and I love it. So I brought out the camera which means everyone run to where mom is so she can take pictures of us adorable children. And here they are.
After the photo shoot, the kids went to help Denver pick tomatoes. A lot of tomatoes because we have a gazillion and I thought it was high time I tackled canning salsa. Today was the first time I've ever made it and it may be the last. Just kidding. It wasn't too bad and I learned a lot. Such as, if a recipe warns me not to touch something, like jalapenos, I'm going to pay attention.

| Mia and Corbin dancing while "helping" Dad pick tomatoes. |
 |
| Lil Miss was quite impressed with the zuchinni she found. |
 |
| Karli was here for most of the day. |
 |
| My sink. My tomatoes. Hours of fun. |
 |
| Oh yeah, let's make salsa! |
 |
| This is why Karli stays in her excersaucer, the kids can't resist her if she's free. |
 |
| But at least she seems to enjoy it, right? |
 |
| First few bites of salsa.... |
 |
| Corbin took one bite and then looked at me with genuine surprise and said, "Mom, this is really good!" |
It was a good day. I was a bit skeptical when Denver and Chase left me with the hyper children right in the middle of a batch of salsa, but I was pleasantly surprised. Karli went right to sleep while Corbin and Mia were thrilled-yes thrilled-to brush their teeth and get ready for bed. They even sat still through scriptures AND family prayer. And when I tucked Corbin in to bed he offered to let me stay and sleep with him in his bed. He even said he'd share his pillow. A perfect sort of day. I'd like a repeat tomorrow please. Complete with another episode like the one in this video that I saved for last. Because I love it, and you might too.
