We've been getting alot done around the homestead this week.  The yardwork is, pretty much done...it seems to never end, but it looks nice!

Yesterday the children & I went about 30 minutes away & picked blueberries.  I said we would each pick one bucket full & it turned out to be about 17 lbs.   After a quick trip to pick up some ingredients we came home.  We did our daily duties & then made blueberry jam.

I took pictures & will post them & the recipe when I have a little more time.  It was very easy to make & it tastes super sweet, but great!

I have been keeping a notebook/journal of things to do each day.  I don't always get it all done, but I try & whatever does not get done will go over to the next day.

Here's what's on my list for today:

Thursday 6-19

~put chicken in crockpot (I got my menu off a bit because after picking we had blueberry waffles for supper last night)

~Clean out my magazines

~Work on schoolhouse (inside organizing)

~Work on unit study box (I'll explain this later it's for homeschooling)

~feed dogs & cat

~fresh water for dogs

~clean stove

~vaccum bedroom

~clean kitchen--sweep & mop

~post on blog

~Pick up cousins to come over to play (they have already been here & gone home)

~pack & freeze other blueberries

~Put recipes in my binder (from when I cleaned out my magazines)

~Clean out end table in the living room (more magazines & papers)

That's it except for the usual dishes & such that are always getting dirty!

I've been keeping busy trying to organize all the homeschool things & getting our records & things organized.  Right now we are taking this week off so I have some more time to do this.

Hope everyone had a fun & productive day too!
