It has been awhile since I've posted. I know this. We have been busy. Our closing date was supposed to be on Friday, but it got pushed back to Monday (tomorrow). We've been in contact with our mortgage broker, Bucky's cousin's husband, JT and it's a jungle out there in the home-buying world! Changes in policies and nit picky things are making him run around and around. Don't get me wrong, this is better than people foreclosing on their mortgage, but it's a big pain in my butt!!!
But on a more positive note, we met a few neighbors and learned a little more about the school Ethan is supposed to go to. Here's the crazy thing about it. It's a circle school, which means it has no walls separating the classrooms. Yeah, try to imagine that. Kids getting taught different things at the same time in a gigantic time traveling school? A little too much for me. I'm going to try for a variance to another school or hopefully a charter school. That would be cool. It would be so cute to see him in a uniform.
Also, the apricot tree in the front yard is full of fruit! So, I'll be making a lot of jam and maybe some fruit leather. Anyone know how to make fruit leather?

My parents make good fruit leather. I can ask them how, but if I tell you, you better share the goods.
Lots of new stuff happening with Ya'll- How exciting!! The house looks so cute and I can picture those two little blondies running wild in the grass!
I just made my first batch of fruit leather (plum). I just pureed the fruit and spread out plastic wrap on the dehydrator (or you can use your oven on low, I hear) and let it dry forever. Mine was a little watery so I added some tapioca as a thickener, seemed to work. Tastes good:)
TOTALLY get a zone variance and push it hard. I'm shocked that some schools are still trying the 'open' concept. They've tried it other places and it failed. Sheesh. Weird stuff. Good luck on the house, though! Fun stuff, fo' sho! =) Kali
