Weekend Fun!

There wasn't too much excitement at our house this past weekend. We just played outside in our perfect 80 degree weather and hung around home. Friday night we ate outside and enjoyed a little fire in the backyard. We didn't have any marshfellows (as DJB says) but we did dip graham cracker sticks in Nutella! Yum, ever tried it?

DJB raking leaves by the firelight...


Taking a break to warm up by the 1/2 gas, 1/2 wood fire...

LOB shoveling leaves by the firelight...with a trenching shovel????

I remember when I was a kid in MN, we used to bury each other in HUGE piles leaves every fall. But these poor deprived AZ kids rake leaves in the dark from their one lonely tree in February and bury their dog...it's all messed up!

Today the boys and I made a couple apple pies (with your recipe Annalie!) with the 40 pounds of Pink Lady apples from our co-op ($14 woot woot!). I forgot to take pictures of the apple peeling project. The boys love to take turns spinning the apples and then eating the curly peel. The weird thing is, when they want to eat an apple, they always ask me to peel it first because they don't like it! Go figure! After our baking class, we delivered a hot apple pie to Grammy and Grandpa and ended up staying for awhile. The boys got to go swimming and Toni got to sniff butts at the dog park. Fun Fun!
