After picking apples, we went home, had some YUMMY Veggie Lasagna (thanks Mom!) and had family game night. S got to pick the game, so UNO it was. It is his new favorite. My favorite part is that he lays all of his cards down in front of him, that way I can help him (I always help, J likes to use this to his advantage though and cheats a little...bad Daddy!) :) We played 3 times, I won, J won, and S won.
On Friday, I made some pumpkin chocolate chip bread. The kids were so excited, because I made them each their own little loaf. I knew I'd have enough batter to do it and hey, who doesn't want to be the cool Mom? So...they had fun devouring their breads, but not before I could get a few photos of them.
They loved it and had fun eating it.
Now for the baby...she is SO sweet and SO much fun. She had her 2 week appointment this week and is doing great. Not quite back at her birthweight yet, but she was only a few ounces short, so we're not worrying about it. Emma was like that too. She reminds me a lot of Em, that scares me a little, but at the same time, it is so fun. Here are some cutie photos of my baby!
In this picture, A is pretending to be Monster from the book No Such Thing. This is a great book about a boy and a monster who live in the same room. Both of their Moms tell them there is no such thing as the other, and then they find out differently. A really cute book, great for Halloween, or maybe for that child who is afraid of going to bed because of Monster's under the bed!
Tonight L and I are going to our Church's Women's Meeting. Every 6 months we have General Conference, and the weekend before, is a special meeting for the women. I am really excited to go and be edified.
Oh, and as far as that 2 bushels of apples? I'm making applesauce...with a 4 year old, 2 year old and 2 week old baby. It will be fun! I wish my Mom were still here to help me! Wanna come out now Mom? ;) J will be home in the afternoons on Monday and Tuesday (S and A are getting their fillings this week...I'm sick about it), so we'll probably work on it then.
I just need to find more quart (or pint) jars. Anyone have some they want to get rid of?

Wow you look great Kim and pumpkin bread sounds delicious. Did you use the pumpkins you bought or canned? I'd love a recipe if you have time. And good luck on applesauce, earlier in the month I participated in making 100 qts, an all day process. I am so happy to announce my canning season is officially over--it's worn me out but we'll worth it this winter. Good luck finding jars! They're bargains this time of year. And Libby has changed so much in 2 weeks. Congrats again.
She is a beautiful baby...just precious. Thanks for your comments on my blog today. We feel of your support and love and it means so much, especially considering we have never met! Much love headed right back to you and your beautiful family.
