During harvest, Sundays are the only day that we are together as a family. That means we look forward to them and try to spend some good quality time together. Sundays are usually a day where the kids will take turns making treats. Hudson chose to make homemade oreos (something that I just don't ever make.)
When the weather is nice, we will ride bikes or go for walks. In order to motivate the kids, there usually has to be some sort of incentive and nothing works better than to promise a stop at Grandma and Grandpa Hillman's. On this particular night, we talked Grandma into getting out her accordion. She got it while she was a girl. Apparently back then, people would come around selling them and provide lessons as well. The kids recognized the keyboard, but it was quite large for them to muscle around and it's tricky to pump it as well. Definitely something that would require a decent amount of practice.
The kids offer to assist Grandpa with popcorn popping. It's special popcorn from their Stir Crazy popper and has it's own distinct taste with lots of butter. They pass out the bowls and keep them refilled. We love popcorn.
