Apples, chores, leaves, pinatas

This is a new recipe I tried yesterday. Lane and I both liked them.Alexee likes to help unload the dishwasher. I take out all the knives first, then let her bring the utensils to the drawer. She just tosses them in and I sort.

This is the prettiest tree on our route to MDO. I remembered to take my camera today so I could take its picture.
Rhett wants to make a turkey pinata, so we're going to try. I bought balloons and liquid starch and we saved an old newspaper. It's drying on the table now...we'll try to finish it tomorrow and post a picture (if it turns out to look anything like a turkey!?). The balloon body should hold the candy, then we'll make a head and tail feathers out of something--cardboard?

I love a good project!
