APPLESAUCE!!



Saturday Morning we made APPLESAUCE!!! Greg picked apples in the morning while Alexis and Cindy started the whole process with Grandpa Thompson's apples. After Greg got back it was about ten in the morning and we spent the whole day cutting the apples and cooking them and making applesauce. It is really good sauce, we used mostly jonagolds and western grims with some old red delicoious and a few other varities. It made for some great sauce. Alexis went shopping but Cindy and Greg worked until 8 to make 46 jars of apple sauce in the end. We never got a picture of all the jars together.
The last one is Lindsay getting her hair done by her friend Tracy with Capone nesting on the back of the couch. That was after Alexis, Lindsay, and Tracy got back from their shopping spree.

Little Chugie is growing up. Here is a picture of her resting on a pillow and one with her resting by daddy.

The top picture is of our indoor carrots, the next two plants in the 2nd picture are tomoateos and some kind of squash plant? I don't know if any will grow in the winter but I figured we would give it a shot. We put them outside for a warm day. The bottom picture is of our basement where Greg added 5 shelfs that are 8 feet long each. It is really nice having a little space to store our stuff.

We had a yellow carrot in our garden which we thought was really odd. We thought it was poisonious but after going online and googling "yellow carrots" we found out that there are carrots that come in a few odd colors. Anyways we decided to eat it and it was yummy!!
The top picture is the rest of our tomatoes this year and the last two are of Greg making some apple crisp with the apples Grandpa Thompson gave us. He also put some plums in it and it was really AWESOME!

This is the movie of Chugar trying to get the hair band off her neck.



We got a new cat and her name is Chugar (Rhymes with Sugar). She is a lot of fun and Greg is a lot less allergic to her. She is really fluffy and really wild. We think that she was raised outside by the way she acted when we first got her but she has grown to love us and we have loved her into the family. The last picture we posted because Chugar's face looked super funny. Alexis was trying to teach the cat how to be a rastafarian with head bands listening to Bob Marley. Alexis also likes to give Chugar rides. Oh and Capone and Abruzzi live at Ma and Pa's place.
