The last few weeks I have been doing a "Currently" post.  It is fun for me to think about my week. To open up, and show bits and pieces of my daily thoughts, and life.  I'm linking up with Becky from Choose Happy.

Tis the season....for APPLES!!!!  Yesterday I took a couple hours and made apple sauce, apple crisp, and apple chips in the dehydrator.

My helper or should I say taste tester!

Decisions....We are looking at replacing the kitchen flooring.  The rest of our house is hard wood floor boards that we have sanded and stained.  That is not an option in the kitchen due to previous installed flooring.  

 Ummm mom...it is the end of August.  Why do I need to wear my fleece jacket?!?!?!?  Wisconsin was chilly today, sure feels like end of October not end of August!

Quote for the week...Life has been extra busy for me lately.  Last week there was a couple rainy days when I really felt like I should be getting certain things done.  Instead we used the rainy days as rainy days should be, curled up reading, watching movies, and napping!  Sometimes we just need a break.

Mother's Musing: County Fair Highlights

County Fair Highlights

The County Fair each year is exciting, frustrating, and crazy busy for a mom!  I'm sure there is a few more white hairs on my head but we survived and the kids had a blast!!!!!!!!!!!

This year I had a 1st year Cloverbud.  She made cookies, a rock creature, and a homemade craft.  And one who took Shooting Sports, Photography, and Lego's.  So much fun to see them try new things.

The kids worked at the 4H Food Stand with our group for a few hours on Wednesday.

Checking out their projects on display.

Fair Fun!!!!!!

Garden Tractor Pull

And of course fair FOOD!!!!!

Each year it seems we ask ourselves, is it worth it.  Once again, they were planning next years projects already on the drive home!

Where is August going?!?!?!?  

County Fair....Thursday evening we headed to the local county fair with family!  Checked out the kids 4H projects, see the animals, and of course enjoyed some good nonhealthy fair food.

Enjoying....1st piggy tails on these hot muggy August summer days

Bluegrass Festivals....Friday night we headed to a local bluegrass festival for the evening.  It was hot but the kids had a BLAST!  Even better daddy got some time to just sit and enjoy music and even play for a bit after.

Quote for the week...Christian's sermon on Sabbath reminded me of this song.

This Old House: Apple Crisp

It is APPLE SEASON!!!  Which means yummy apple crisp, pie, sauce, butter....yummy yummy yummy.

Today in good ole Wisconsin the humidity is high which makes the 89 degrees feel like 96!  And 'This Old House' has no central air.  Even with that, I turned the oven on for a few minutes to make Grandma Monson's apple crisp, cut up apples from my sisters tree that is my Great Grandpa planted.

I love how the old cook book opens right up this page and how dirty the page is.  It is well loved!

Yup this is all that is left of the 9x13 pan I made!!!!!!
