embrace the camera {harvesting the carrots}

Here's how we spent our day, the whole day...

picking, washing, cutting, and freezing all of these beautiful carrots. While it would have taken me about two hours to get this all done, it took us all day. But I'm trying to teach the kids how to grow and preserve our food. For the most part, they love helping with every aspect of growing and preserving our veggies. Yes, they do get a little bored, cranky, and a little crazy at times, but so don't I. But I love how washing the carrots in a big tub of water turns into bobbing for carrots or how I would find little nibble marks in almost every carrot. While these memories are not always pretty, they are certainly priceless!

Thanks again Em for the challenge. If it wasn't for your challenge, I wouldn't have all of these pictures and stories to share with the kids when they get older.
