What can you do...

With oh say 100 lbs of apples in 2 days? Well, I canned 19 jars of apple sauce, Jon & Dad made 6.5 gallons of fresh pressed apples cider, one apple crisp (with homemade vanilla ice cream) and we made lots of apple chips and fruit leather. I'm hoping to try some apple butter too. Needless to say, it smells like apples around here. Did I mention that we picked them all ourselves too? We still have a box left just to eat. Noah really enjoyed helping Grandma clean out the jugs. He thought it was great to have all those toys in the tub. (sorry the pictures aren't that great).

On Wednesday Noah turned 1 1/2 so we had a half birthday celebration. (We've always done that in my family). He had spaghetti, peas and a little ice cream cookie thing. He got a shape sorter from my parents. Gifts aren't normal just so you all know. What a big boy!! He's climbing all over everything and jumping every chance he gets. We sure are having fun with him and we're making sloooow progress when it comes to sleeping. We're hoping it's better by Dec.

The weather has been awesome here and they say the next few days will be even better. It's been nice to get outside. Noah helped me rake leaves yesterday and then kick them around so we could rake them up again. You get the point. I kept telling him there would be more in a few days but I guess he wanted to play with the ones we had as long as possible.

I guess I should go. I hear Seinfeld's theme going and apple crisp and ice cream calling my name.
