A Day For Canning Applesauce!


























I now know why my mother went crazy whenever she would try to can anything. Yikes! Aaron has a co-worker who gave us a ton.. (literally) of apples. So Teresa, Lorina and I decided to can some applesauce. Well we ended up with about 70 jars total. We still have three more boxes full. Needless to say we started at @ 11:30 am yesterday.... Teresa and I finished up things about about 8:30 pm last night. WHEW! Talk about a long day. The kids were pretty good for the most part, they had there fair share of struggles though.. But hey what did we expect there were 6 kids all three and under.... Ammon was the oldest. But all in all I think we were pretty darn productive. I am very proud at what we accomplished. Here are a few pictures that best describe the day... I only wish I had taken a picture before cleaning off Teresa stove last night... talk about STICKY YUCK!
