saucy.

 

We spent a few hours on Saturday and Sunday making our applesauce. And lo and behold - it was easy this year! Time passes in a combination of a rhythmic slow and lightning fast so that when something sneaks up on me (like the thought of how easy this year it was to implement my helpers) I'm simultaneously shocked that they're growing up and saddened that I can't steal back that time.

Parker and Everly are pros at loading up the peeler, pealing, and then prepping the apples. We take all the peels and cores and press them and make apple cider with the remnants so that we don't waste a bit of our precious apples. And then we see how long we can make our homemade apple cider last (not long).

This is Parker and Jeremy playing a joke on Evie and I. He thinks it's the most hilarious thing in the world to play the ol' "Bloody Hands" joke on us. The ketchup bottle is frequently out at our house.

 And this is how a ballerina makes applesauce. Very helpful.
