Apples

I have FINALLY finished canning apples for this season! We went to pick apples at my co-leader’s house a couple of times. We picked apples at Granny’s house, and Aunt Linda and Uncle Aaron brought us a box of apples just as I thought I was nearing the finish line. I am glad they brought them though because they were nice enough to make apple rings from and I wouldn’t have been able to make any apple rings otherwise.

I made 50 quarts of applesauce (18 quarts of peach, 9 quarts of blueberry, 10 quarts of cherry, 9 quarts of unsweetened, and 4 quarts of red hot), 22 quarts of pie filling, 12 quarts of apple rings (9 quarts cinnamon, 3 quarts mint), 12 pints syrup (6 pints apple pie, and 6 quarts cinnamon), and 28 half pints of jam (7 jars of apple pie, 7 jars of candy apple, 7 jars of apple cider, and 7 jars of mint).

Getting Ready for Baby

We are getting closer to baby’s arrival, and it’s time to be making preparations. So last night Kyle moved our giant bed over about a foot, and I put the bassinet together. The little ones were attracted to the bassinet when they saw it this morning.

In between pulling Adam out of the bassinet, I unpacked other newborn baby stuff into the drawers of the dresser to get ready for baby. 🙂
