Apple pickin

 This morning we decided we better pick most of the apples from our apple tree. The temperatures are getting pretty high and it is a delicate balance of letting them get big and them getting fried by the heat. We planted the apple tree the week Zoe was born so it is now 5 years old. It produced so many apples this year we actually cut some off in April because the branches were getting so weighed down.

Zoe and Sophia had a blast helping John get them off the branches. Katie walked around holding a basket and throwing the 2 we gave her to play with. I am still not sure what we are going to do with all the apples.

We will probably eat some, make some pies, and freeze some.

A Happy Valentine's Day

Today was filled with family and hearts. We started the morning with heart shaped zucchini nut bread and strawberries. The girls thought that was pretty neat and devoured their breakfast.

We had heart-shaped pizza for dinner followed by heart-shaped cookies with Zoe's help. Dinner was accompanied with Modern Marvel's history of chocolate. Sophie was already in bed for this part of the evening but Zoe loved it. Even asked why the show was over.

Zoe and Sophia had fun putting together their valentine gifts to take to preschool with Mimi on Tuesday night while we were at our Bible study. They came home with valentines from all their friends at school yesterday. It was pretty cute opening each one and watching the girls get excited to find out what each person got them.
