Apples Apples and MORE Apples!!!

There was an orchard here that we were able to pick apples from. The girls seemed to have fun-for a little bit anyways.
We ended up with about 12 full bins of apples! Anthony picked 10 of the 12!

I had never canned anything in my life so since my mom was here for Thanksgiving she got us started.

Of course we had helpers and taste testers!

We have so far canned 32 cans! I guess we only have 200 more to go with all the apples we have! We haven't even emptied one bin yet!! What did I get us into!!!????

HOLY TUMBLE WEED!

Some kids are late for school because they didn't get ready in time. My kids are late for school because they are blessed with a CRAZY mother who decides instead of getting in the car, lets stop for 10 minutes and take pictures of a GINORMOUS tumble weed that tumbled in front of our house.


I know I have lived here for almost 3 years now but these things still amaze me!
