Picking Apples

First thing this morning Jillian made "Muddy Buddies".  I picked that recipe because all of the kids like them.  She did all the measuring and mixing and working hard at it, as this picture shows.  After we poured the chocolate-peanut butter over the chex, her and Bridget got to shake it in the bags with powdered sugar.  They did a great job on that too.  Jillian licked all the bowls and spoons afterwards, but when I said to try the "Muddy Buddies", she wouldn't even taste them.  Bridget loved them though.  When the other kids came later they enjoyed Jillian's snack.

After naps the girls wanted to play outside.  They rode scooters and the jeep for awhile.  Then when we were walking they saw the apple tree and wanted baskets to pick apples.  Jillian would pick the apples and I would polish them.  Soon she had a full basket and decided to take some up to Julie's family.  She left them 5 apples because that is how many are in their family.  Then she went to Robin's house and gave them 3 apples, one for Uncle Dan, Aunt Robin, and Tierney.  Bridget didn't pick much but enjoyed eating the Delicious apples, two in fact.  Even baby Ariel got tossed aside in favor of the apples.
