Apple Picking

Apples!Picking applesWalking with DaddyOn Saturday  we had a fun and busy day. We went apple picking.  We picked some apples.  I think they were Cortland apples.  Adrian picked some apples from small branches (the low ones).  He wanted little apples.  I picked from high up in the tree, big apples!  I was on Daddy’s shoulders.

We couldn’t go on the pumpkin ride because it was too busy.  I felt sad, I really wanted to do it.

Enjoying the dayI love fall!Daddy treated us to hot dogs, A&W Root beer and chips.  We got to eat in the car!  We had dessert from Dairy Queen.  We got a Dilly Bar.  Audrey calls it a big chocolate chip ice cream on a stick.  I never had one before.  I liked it.  Audrey says “yum, yum, yum”.

We are going to make applesauce and apple crisp and dried apples.

Pumpkin Pie

Crushing graham crackersThe other day, I made a pumpkin pie.  It was easy to make.  It tasted good.  We had it for dinner because it is the pumpkin season.  We used the pumpkin from Audrey and Adrian’s jack o lantern.

For the crust, mix these ingredients all together.  Then push into the pie pan.  Then put them in the oven for a little bit. (Ten minutes at 350 degrees).  Momma says you can use a regular pie crust too, but we did not want to make one.

6 Tablespoons butter

Mixing the pie ingredients1 1/2 cup crushed graham crackers

1/2 cup brown sugar

1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

Then mix all the ingredients for the pie and pour into the crust.

1 cup cooked pumpkin

Finished pie1/2 cup sugar

1 teaspoon cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon ginger

1/4 teaspoon cloves

1 teaspoon vanilla

Yummy pie1 cup milk

2 egg yolks

2 egg whites beaten stiff

Then bake at  425 degrees for 10 minutes.  Reduce oven to 375 degrees and bake abut 30 minutes until filling is set.  Cool some before eating.

Adrian’s First Trip to the Dentist

At the dentistI let Adrian write this blog for me.  Me and Audrey and Adrian went to the dentist yesterday.  Here’s his story.

I went to the dentist. Uncle Sam is Angelique’s husband. He is my dentist.

Audrey went first. Andrea went second. Adrian went third.

I walked in the room. I sat on the fun ride seat. It was white (it was really blue! :)  A little apprehensive). The seat went down and down and I was laying down.I touched the tickle toothbrush on my hands. I did not like the toothpaste. She (the hygienist) counted my teeth. I have 20 teeth. I didn’t like the second toothpaste (fluoride).

I got the yellow toothbrush and some bubblegum toothpaste and the stickers!

I like the dentist.

Mariposas a Mexico

MakingYesterday we made butterflies. We are mailing them to Mexico like real Monarchs. (Momma calls it Symobolic Migration). Different children will look at them in their classroom. In the spring they are coming back like real Monarchs. I will maybe get a different one back. Some friends made some too. Guess which one is mine!  finished

This Weeks Vrs

John 3:36

Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life, but whoever rejects the Son will not see life, for God’s wrath remains on him.

(Momma showed me how to get the whole verse in here easily!)

This means that everybody who believes in Jesus will live forever, but whoever says no to God will be punished by God very badly.
