Apples Anyone?

The apples are still around!  We picked all the apples from our trees and now are finding ways to use them!

We have handed out bags and bags of apples!

Hopefully we can use up the last bit I have before they go to waist.  This week, I perfect my applesauce!

Farm Showcase

After soccer practice on Saturday morning we headed to a farm showcase put on by the University.  The kids had a fun time and there was so much to do!  It was really crowed this year-I think more and more people have realized how cool this place is.

Avery was worried about finding her friend!

 

This was the only thing we did this weekend because they have all come down with a cold (or it could be allergies).  We shall see how Mack does with it...I will add that Mack had good numbers last week.  We are about a month away from Mack's one year mark of being sick! 

 

BUT...

A cold can't stop them from playing outside at home:

 

 I would NEVER EVER EVER think I would say this, but it's so sad watching Lincoln chase them...all three always want to ride the power wheel.  I thought, "heck no we teach them to share!" but as time has gone on and I see how much they use this, it might be time to get another one-or maybe Santa can bring it!

 Our neighbors came over and we had S'mores!  Everyone enjoyed roasting marshmallows.  Avery claims it made her feel better! 

 This is a happy kid! 

Happy week to everyone!

Gardening with the Watsons

After many years of attempting to have a garden, we were finally successful last year. It was nice to start this year with experience under our belts. Mark built a raised bed right off our patio-we prepped and tilled up a new place to start our berry garden. I envision our children outside, getting dirty and eating fresh fruit from our apple trees and berry plants! What a fun life and great experience for my children. It was such an amazing weekend!

Avery has her own gardening bag. She really got into raking the dirt.

Yep-he ate dirt!

"Mack can you believe what daddy is doing?"

Getting kids in the dirt and exploring outside is the best thing we can do for our kids at this age. Maybe it will carry over when they get older and they won't want to be inside playing video games:) For now we can lead by example!
