apple party

i wish i had come up with a better name...but i didn't. i'm not creative you see, i steal. like how to do birthday parties and which is the best brand and how to cook. why figure it out yourself when someone else already did? so i confess, i bluff my way through.

so gg sent a big box of books a couple weeks ago, and i mean a BOX. (thanks papa and gg for feeding our reading addiction, it would not be what it is today, with out you!) there were several fall books included. one was 'apples, apples, apples'. very cute book about bunnies who go apple picking and then it has them come home and do all these fun activites with the apples. it was supposed to thunderstorm on thursday, so we invited our neighbors over for an apple party.

we used the recipe in the book to make our very own applesauce.
we used the cores of the apples to stamp with paint.


we sang an apple song (music and lyrics included in book).
we played with fall leaves.


and we ate our applesauce.

it was a fun party and i'm thinking about making it an annual event...maybe next year step it up a notch with actual apple picking and then coming home. who knows!
