In our house we don't allow video games (I know lame!), we rarely watch television, and never watch it during the day/early evening. An occasional movie, or of course Monday night American Ninja Warrior is about all this television has seen in months *Now that my obsession with Say Yes to The Dress has passed!* Nathan and I do not have Facebook, and really only peruse Pinterest in search of a recipe, design tips, ect... This leaves a lot of time for us to enjoy this gorgeous weather that we have been having lately. Nathan finally got the last of that tree cleaned up from the backyard...now it is in the driveway, someone take it away!! The deck is thisclose to being finished, hopefully pictures to come soon! We are preparing to paint the house, and redo the front porch ( I cannot wait!!) Hopefully we will get started on that this weekend, in between our fun outings that I have planned of course!
This past week Nate was in British Soccer camp, and he was in LOVE with it, he often complained that he wished he could play throughout the school year *hopefully next year* He made so many new friends and really let his personality shine.

| Nates team was Ireland *Imagine Nathans excitement* For crazy hair day, Nate wanted a green Mohawk...and thats what he got! |

The two morning teams
|
Nate was so obsessed with soccer that he constantly was playing with the neighborhood boys, his dad, and even Hershey!
 |
| Apparently Hershey plays good defense! |
During the afternoons that we weren't playing soccer, we were at the park or pool, or the beach!....okay, so more of a lake, but it is the closest we have!
 |
| There was A LOT of swinging happening all week, with a lot of friends! |
 |
| Beach Bum |
 |
| He loved being thrown by dad! |
In other news, our tomatoes are outrageous! We have so many it is ridiculous. I finally got around to making my first big batch of pasta sauce. I tried it a different way this time, in the crockpot! It worked like a charm. I put roughly 12 large tomatoes from the garden in the crock on low, skin on. I let it cook for roughly 2 hours and then smashed the tomatoes. I then added fresh from the garden, onion, chives, green pepper and garlic all chopped and minced.
 |
| This is after I smooshed the tomatoes and added the other veggies. |
I added some herbs that Nathans co-worker gave us, they were already mixed but it tastes like salt, basil, oregano, and dried peppers *very yummy. I then let that cook down for about 3 hours, and this is what I ended up with!
 |
| Looks so yummy! |
I am making Nathans favorite (eggplant lasagna) with this homemade sauce within the next few days. I am drooling just thinking about it!
Till next time,
