Applesauce

A few days ago my friend Melissa and I made 18 quarts of applesauce each in my kitchen. It literally took all day! We were really tired by the end, but we have yummy homemade applesauce for a whole year!

Melissa is improving her photography skills every day with her new SLR camera. You can see some great pictures of our applesauce day on her blog.

Little Helper

This year we bought two pumpkins to carve and put out on our back deck. Jimmy “helped” dig out some of the stringy insides. We named them Barney and Floyd.

Jimmy also helped me make cookies for the first time. He figured out what the best part was pretty quick.

Puzzle Craze

One activity that has been dominating Jimmy’s time at home is putting together jigsaw puzzles. Until just a few days ago, he only had one puzzle with a big black train. He loves the train, but he also loves the challenge of putting all the pieces together. It’s a 48 piece puzzle and he does it completely on his own! Last week I timed him at 25 minutes start to finish, but he’s been doing it about 5 times a day, so I’m sure he’s become faster.

Yesterday we bought him puzzle #2. It’s a $.30 bargain from a thrift store. Twenty five pieces with a picture of two dogs and a fish. He’s not quite as inspired about it. The pieces don’t stay together very well and there’s no train! We plan to get him a few more puzzles soon.
