Dedication

Getting on here to submit an entry has proven to be extremely difficult, especially considering our new schedule since school started!  But, I am determined to keep this going for my kids! It's for the kids!!!


One of our favorite things about fall is apple picking!  

Picking apples while on Daddy's shoulders last year!

It's a favorite past time of every New Englander!!!  With daddy's help, #1 loves to pick the apples her little sister can't reach!  This picture was taken last year at our favorite orchard.  It has pick your own apples, raspberries, blueberries and pumpkins!  We have gone there every year since moving to this area three years ago.  Unfortunately, because of the wacky weather this spring (the May frost killed over 90% of it's apple crop), we won't be going there for apples this year.  We will still go there to pick other fruits of their harvest.  Pumpkins and raspberries are on the list!  Perhaps a sunflower or two for my kitchen!  

#1 is supposed to go on an apple picking field trip next week to another local orchard.  We'll see if it still happens.  If apples aren't available there, we may have to travel south where I used to go as a kid!  Going a season without applesauce made from the apples my little ones picked with their very own little hands is unacceptable!
