Tomatoes!

This weekend Corbin's cousin Rachel slept over on Friday night while her mom ran a half marathon up in Huntsville. They had a lot of fun together, when they woke up Saturday morning they sat in Corbin's room talking and laughing for a long time before they ever cried for me to come and get them out of their cribs.

Later that day we went to Uncle Matt's soccer game. Corbin loved watching him, there was an unending chorus of "go Matt" for the first half hour. Then he got bored and wandered off to find some old rusty bleachers to play on.


After the game we put the kids down for a nap and my brother, his wife, and I all had a tomato party. We went and picked 11 bags of tomatoes and then spent the remainder of the day canning tomatoes, salsa and sauce.


It ended up taking longer than we thought it would, since none of us had ever done it before and we had no clue what we were doing. So by the end of the day Corbin was sick of being ignored and watching movies for hours on end, so I decided to let him help.


What a big help he turned out to be :)

Does Caleb like tomatoes now?

Um... no, he still won't eat plain tomatoes. You will notice he was not mentioned as being involved with tomato fest '08. He does however like the finished products. He eats lots of spaghetti, salsa, stews, etc. (As long as I make them and he doesn't have to cook :)
