Apples

Apples.  Caramel apples. Apple pie.  Apple Cider.  Apples crunchy and sweet, crisp and tart.

Did you know October is National Apple Month?

It is.  To celebrate, we've been singing apple songs around these parts.

My favorites:

Ring Around the Apple Tree
(tune: Ring Around the Rosies)

Ring around the apple tree
All full of apples
Shake it!
Shake it!
They all fall down.

10 Little Apples
(tune: 10 Little Indians)

1 little, 2 little, 3 little apples
4 little, 5 little, 6 little apples
7 little, 8 little, 9 little apples
on my apple tree.

Munch little, munch little, munch little apples!
Crunch little, crunch little, crunch little apples!
Bunch of little, bunch of little, bunch of little apples,
Good for you and me!

Five Little Apples
(tune: Five Little Monkeys)

Five little apples hanging in a tree
teasing Mr. Crawling Ant can't eat me
Along comes Mr. Crawling Ant quiet as can be
and he CHEWED that apple right out of that tree.
(continue with 4, 3, 2, 1 apples)

Apples Juicy and Round
(tune: Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star)

Apples juicy, apples round
On the trees and on the ground
Apples yellow, apples red
Apple juice or pie or bread
Apples crunch, apples sweet
Apples are so good to eat.


Enjoy the apples everybody!

    Awesome. Thanks, Ames! So, do you remember "my" apple trees? Mom bought apple trees to decorate at my wedding reception in Muncie, and now they are planted in her backyard here, behind the pool house? She finally let them grow apples this year, and I get to pick some! I'm excited.

ThanksGIVEaway

This giveaway is now CLOSED. In a week we will find ourselves feasting with family and friends.  We will reflect on and share with each other the good things in life that we are grateful for.  And I think that's great, to give thanks. My heart lately though has been leaning in a slightly different direction, I've felt an emphasis on a different part of the name of next week's holiday.  My heart is filled with gratitude to people who have reached out in love, sympathy, and support when they see others in need..  Those who have voiced prayers, and kind thoughts and words on our behalf, and on behalf of people seeking comfort everywhere.  The people who have watched children, sent flowers, made meals, and done so much more to try and ease burdens.  And my thankful heart wants to GIVE back to these people, as a small way of saying Thank You. So today I present you with my ThanksGIVEaway.  You know those big fancy blogs that are sponsored by corporations and have big fanc

Come Take a Tour

This is the longest post of all time, but that's because of all the pictures. So I know I shouldn't let myself get carried away since we still have the inspection to go, but... I feel like we've won half the battle, so I will show you pictures now. This backyard is one of the  main reasons I wanted this house.  It is on a corner lot, and it is really quite large.  It extends just as far off to the left.  Here you can sort of see the nice swingset we've inherited also, which Hallie will love as it has swings and a slide. This is the playhouse in the backyard.  It's about nine square feet inside, and has electrical set up and in the spring/summer you can tell it is landscaped.  My girls will be a little spoiled. This is the first thing you see when you walk in the house, aside from the stairs which you can barely see in the left corner.  It is a formal dining, but we may use it as a formal sitting room. This is the front door, with the stairs leading up (

Well, That Was Unexpected

I think it all really started on Monday afternoon.  My mother and I were talking about movies that we would like to see in the movie theater.  When my mom learned that my girls had not seen Frozen yet, she decided that was something we needed to do.  I looked up show times, and saw that Tuesdays are $5 movie days with free popcorn and the theater is right by my midwife's office.  The only showing we could go to was just after my appointment with her, and everything seemed to be falling into place just perfectly. We had a plan.  We were so excited about our movie date with the girls. But things don't always go according to plan, do they? Hanna got sick that night, and spent all day Tuesday asleep on the couch.  It seemed that our perfect plan was not going to happen. Little did I know that there were going to be far greater reasons for us to miss that movie. There we were, Tuesday afternoon, Hanna asleep on the couch, Heather asleep in her crib, my Grandpa knitting me
