Oh my husband....period! Last weekend our local grocery store had a sale on strawberries. Well Ben decided to can strawberry jam. Although canning is not in season for everyone else, it is for Ben. We ended up canning 60 full pints and 23- 1/2 pints/. We will have jam for several years to come. The jam is delicious and well worth the 11 hours we put in. Here are some pictures.
And then....Ben decided we needed soup in our storage. Ben wanted to go to the cannery, but my Mom convinced me otherwise (thanks Mom!). Instead Ben decided to can our own soup. He chose Split Pea Soup (most likely the hardest and longest!) We spent over 8 hours canning. Luckily we had help from Ben's sister courtney (thank you!!! We love you Courtie!) We ended up with 23 quarts of Split Pea Soup and all together we had 3 sets of sore feet!
I had to throw in this picture of Caleb because his hair is out of this world!! He had it all spiked and cute for church and then came nap time!! This is how he woke up....crazy hair boy! Cute huh!!
