Happy Fall! Even though it still feels like summer, we welcomed autumn with homemade apple pies. It was part of our Johnny Appleseed celebration. Mimi, our "apple pie baking expert", came to help us each make our very own apple pie - starting with rolling out the crust. (No kidding we made 18 mini pies - an extra for Mrs. Becky's birthday and a treat for Mrs. Laurie.) Some of us had never made or tasted apple pie, but it became very obvious that all of us LOVED the sliced apples that made our pies so yummy. My mom actually picked the apples for our pies from an orchard in North Carolina on Tuesday and we loved seeing them turn into this yummy creation. The smell of the baking pies in the Fellowship Hall had all of the classes thinking Fall. It was really fun to have the children think the whole "pie making" process through. We talked about what we needed to complete this cooking project staring with butter and flour - right down to the warm oven to finish the process. These boys and girls are so smart. "Oh the Lord's been good to me and so I thank the Lord. For giving me the things I need - the sun and the rain and the apple seed." Happy Johnny Appleseed Day! (PS - There really was another Mimi scheduled to help my mom but she did have a dental emergency and couldn't help us. The children were really sad that another Mimi wasn't with us. So if they recounted this story to you - it is all true. Mimi #2 had to go the dentist and miss our apple celebration.)
