Bell peppers

So I garden did pretty well this year...considering that we would go days without watering the garden because we forget, and then we would accidentally turn the water on to water it and leave it on all day.  ha ha.  But we have gotten tons of cucumbers and lots of tomatoes and lots of bell peppers.  Rob made up this silly song last year that goes "red bell peppers, red bell peppers, red bell peppers are good for you."  He sings it in a silly voice and it is the kids favorite song.  They tell him different colors to sing and the laugh and laugh.   So the kids were pretty excited when I said we could actually pick the bell peppers in our garden.  They are supposed to be yellow peppers, but we couldn't leave them on the plant anymore because the snails were eating our garden alive!  So we picked them.  Aren't they beauties?!?!


 We picked all of these in one day, and there were more on the plant.  

 They were huge!  Almost as big as Sadie's head!

 And Zac's too.

 This is pretty random, but Uncle Isaac stopped by for a very short visit on his way home to AZ.  As always, the kids loved it.  They love their uncles tons!  They love their Aunts too, but so far they have 8 uncles and only 3 aunts.  They just love the attention...and Zac walks around the house saying "where's Scott?  Where's Isaac?  Where's Grandpa?"  It is pretty cute.

Oh yeah...did I mention Emery is crawling these days.  She started about two or three weeks ago.  So fun!  Zac and Sadie love it!

Looks like you could use those LARGE bell peppers as your jack-o-lanterns for Halloween.
