We had a fun Saturday morning out and about in the apple orchard. This is our second time to pick apples this fall -- it makes great baby food, yummy treats, and just good snacking. This is probably one of the last weekends to pick at the orchard we go to, so Ruthie and I wanted to make sure and stock up. And stock up we did... :) 45 lbs of apples later... we are busy busy busy! One of the varieties that we picked will keep through the winter if we store them in our fridge! Amazing... so we got plenty of that kind. Kaiya enjoyed picking very much -- only she was pretty intent on picking the leaves (see pics below). When we were finished and waiting for the hayride to come get us and take us back, I gave her one of the apples to play with. It went straight to the mouth! I decided to bite a chunk out of the apple and give the apple back to her and she went crazy over it. She rubbed it all over her face and just slobbered all over the thing. We got such a kick out of it. After apple picking we bought lots of veggies in the orchard store. Got butternut squash, sweet potatoes, & green beans for making Kaiya's baby food. Yum yum... :) Ruthie also bought a pie pumpkin to make pumpkin pie from scratch. That was her project Sunday evening. It provided us with some good laughs... she was really puzzled that after the timer ran out her crust didn't look done and the pie seemed really soupy. She had me come look and *surprise* the oven wasn't turned on! We couldn't decide which was worse: 1) Ruthie not realizing the oven wasn't on -- even when the pie was supposed to bake at 375 for 15 minutes and then the oven turned down to 350 for the remaining 35 minutes -- which she did. 2) Me commenting on how good the pie smelled while baking -- when the pie really wasn't baking at all. Tony decided that we are both airheads! :) And it gave us all a good laugh.
I have more pictures to post from apple picking but blogger is being difficult. They will come later. By the way... Ruthie says the pumpkin pie is great!

I think if you lived here in Oregon you and Kelley would be great friends. She loved to make "real food" baby food too. She also does lots of cooking and baking, trying out different recipes and in general feeding the entire family. She is a good cook. As far as forgetting to turn on the oven....well, that is hysterical - and I can just imagine you telling Ruthie her pie smelled good! So funny...you must like Pumpkin Pie!
