Making Applesauce

For two weeks our theme is apples. For science this week we decided to make applesauce. Since Meara LOVES to cook this was exciting for us!

When it was all finished the taste test proved that it was delicious. Although, it wasn't like Mott's applesauce in texture or color but I think it was more tasty!

Crock Pot Applesauce

Take ten large apples, peeled, cored and cut into chunks. Put them in a crock pot along with 1/2 cup water, 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, and 3/4 cup sugar. Cover and cook on high for 3-4 hours or low for 8-10 hours. Take a potatoe masher and mash. This can be eaten warm or cold. Refrigerate the remaining sauce.

Playing with Snails

Meara and I LOVE to visit two specific friends' houses. We were able to go to one of them and spend time playing in the yard, eating popsicles and inspecting snails. Meara loves her friend Micah! He is one of five children and they all treat Meara with special care. They have a wonderful collection of snails that they shared with her. After one of the last big rains they found them in their yard and created a habitat for them in a plastic container. I was excited to see that she wasn't afraid to hold something slimy. YEAH! I think she likes bugs. ;-)

The popsicle picture makes me think, "By the power of Grayskull...I have the power", He-man cartoon.
