I guess the paint day is becoming an annual start of school thing. The kids were really looking forward to it (who wouldn't, I guess) so we had to find a day that Gabe was at work and wouldn't come home to any part of this mess;) Audrey still only wanted to be peripherally involved, but she had just as much fun as the boys.
On Friday we had our first honey extraction. We started both hives of bees from Nucs in the spring, so we expected very little if any honey this year since the bees had to work so hard to draw out the comb and fill their hives first. But, thanks to one of the hives being super productive (read: aggressive) we ended the season with 30 pints of honey! We don't use honey on a regular basis, but we do now because it tastes so good. It was neat to learn with the kids how the extraction process works.
