Applesauce

I did it, I made applesauce today. If you've made it before you are probably thinking, big deal. But this was my first attempt and I did it! I canned 5 quarts and 6 pints (I ran out of quart jars). Then there was just enough left to give everybody a spoonful at supper. They loved it, even Maddie. So not only did I make applesauce, I made applesauce that everyone likes!!

Below are some pictures of the final stages. I started during nap time this afternoon. Maddie of course decided she would take and extra short nap today, but she was content to play in the kitchen. Eli was excited to help and I wasn't quite done when the boys got off the bus, so they helped out a little too!
