Weekend at Home

This weekend was a busy weekend at home with our mom and dad. Dad finished putting in the window that Grandma and Grandpa VandenBerg brought for us a few weekends ago. Thank you! It looks really nice. While we still had the scaffolding, our dad took down the black shutters and painted them green so they would all match and then painted the top of the front of the porch white (instead of black). It looks great. Our house has seen tremendous improvement, both inside and out, since we first moved in only 2 years ago. Mom put us in charge of picking up the scraps of things that fell into the yard during installation, while she swept and touched up the front steps where blobs of white paint fell. We took our job very seriously.

Mom spent a lot of time in the kitchen this weekend. She said she hates to be wasteful so she made homemade applesauce with apples from a friend's tree (it is SO good), and she froze tomatoes from our garden to put in sauces and soups during the winter. Dad just yelled to mom that he has 8 more tomatoes for her on the counter. Agh! We have an overload!

This coming week is homecoming and we are really looking forward to it. Dad organized a powder puff football game this year with a bonfire to follow. That's on Tuesday night. Friday consists of a pep assembly which mom said we can go to if she thinks we can skip a nap, then a parade through town with the homecoming court at 5:00, then the game. We love going to football games. There are so many kids to run around and play with. But a real highlight is when dad takes us on the golf cart to run an errand with him, and when we get to hear Dad's voice over the speakers and we actually think he's in there. Lot's of exciting things at a football game, that's for sure!! I guess that's it for now. Love you all! Bennett and Annabelle
