All About Apples

After we went to the apple orchard, we had a Friday fun day that was all about apples.  We made crock pot applesauce with our fresh picked apples and the girls helped keep it stirred all morning. We picked out some seeds from the apple cores and the girls planted them in the back yard in hopes of our own apple trees.
We read several library books about apples and sketched our favorite apple from our stash.
We had a great time doing all sorts of "apple" crafts out on the porch as it was such a nice day.
By the end of the day Amy could tell us all the parts of the apple: skin, flesh, core, seeds, stem and leaves.  
Both girls say these kinds of days are their favorite.  Ask Amy on any given day, what she would like to do and she will answer......"crafts".  The next day we made apple pancakes with some of our leftover applesauce.  They were delicious. When Amy likes something she says,this is so delicy momma! Thank you!
We continue to craft and learn and eat!
