Happy Spring!

Spring has finally arrived, and the snow has begun to melt! Swim lessons are finally over, and last week baseball season has begun! Jake is playing on a minor league team, and Emily has started T-ball. Josh is staying busy with 4-H and taking care of his flock of chickens.

Apples!

The weather is once again dreary and cold out so we decided to finally make apple sauce and apple butter with the apples we picked a few weeks ago. The boys loved helping, and tasting! All together we made roughly 7 pints of applesauce (unsweetened for the baby), and easily 14 pints of yummy apple butter!

While the sauce and applebutter was boiling down, the boys and I did some apple painting. They both did about 5 stamps with their apple halves and then it turned into finger, and hand painting! Oh well, at least they had fun!
